Sensing analytical instrument parameters, specimen characteristics, or both from sparse datasets
Abstract
Disclosed are methods for sensing conditions of an electron microscope system and/or a specimen analyzed thereby. Also disclosed are sensor systems and electron microscope systems able to sense system conditions, and/or conditions of the specimen being analyzed by such systems. In one embodiment, a sparse dataset can be acquired from a random sub-sampling of the specimen by an electron beam probe of the electron microscope system. Instrument parameters, specimen characteristics, or both can be estimated from the sparse dataset.
