At a Scherzer defocus of f =(3C s / 2) 1 / 2 = 5276 nm the Scherzer point resolution is given by S =0.64( C s 3)1 / 4 =2.1 nm 1 . The small Lorentz de ection angle however typically necessitates a much larger defocus value in order to reveal magnetic contrast a defocus measured in the tens or hundreds of microns is not uncommon.

Scherzer defocus Every zero-crossing of the graph corresponds to a contrast inversion in the image. Up to the first zero-crossing k 0 the contrast does not change its sign. The reciprocal value 1/k 0 is called Point Resolution. The defocus value which maximizes this point resolution is called the Scherzer defocus.
2002-4-15 · In images taken at the Scherzer defocus a SWCNT usually appear as two dark lines corresponding to the two walls of the nanotube but in general the distance between the two dark lines is smaller than the real diameter of the SWCNT. The discrepancy between these two values varies with the size of the tube and the alignment of the tube relative

Normally people who know negative stain well and have nicely stained images will collect their images at or near Scherzer defocus (ievery close to focus). This minimizes visible CTF artifacts in the image and since most of the contrast provided by negative stain is amplitude contrast there is no need to defocus.
At higher defocus the low frequency behavior is equal to that close to Scherzer defocus but CTF-correction becomes necessary to extend image interpretation to higher resolution. One simple realization of the phase plate consists of two ring shaped electrodes symmetrically surrounding the central beam.
2002-7-2 · Scherzer defocus produces an image of the specimen projected potential to the resolution of the microscope and Lichte defocus minimizes dispersion. A third optimum defocus is best for focal-series reconstruction alpha-null defocus maximizes transfer of high-frequency diffracted beam amplitudes into the microscope image.
In a small defocus window of approximately ± 6 nm around the Scherzer defocus a region with comparatively small deviations (indicated with the red rectangle) was observed. This is due to the fact that for defoci outside of this defocus range the atom positions are not imaged as
2010-2-15 · For the Scherzer defocus R(g) is relatively small for g‐values up to the point resolution (first zero of the CTF) but strongly increases for higher g‐values. In contrast the Lichte defocus minimizes the overall delocalization of spatial frequencies up to the information limit. However for both defocus values considerable contrast
