Phase contrast electron microscopy of biological materials

The properties of two electron microscope phase contrast imaging methods are compared. The first is the conventional bright‐field method in which dark phase contrast is created by defocusing; the second is a phase plate method in which bright phase contrast is created by means of a suitably shaped electric field.
