Model-Based Correction of Image Distortion in Scanning Electron Microscopy

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new Monte-Carlo program for simulation image formation in scanning electron microscopy for real three-dimensional use is presented; factors of image distortions are realized in the program, in respect of future photogrammetric evaluation. A first attempt for generating a 3D-analysis of simulated images is shown.
