Abstract
As the technology of Electron Microscopy advances and spreads, images of single atoms and nano-sized structures will become more available. If the specimen is approximately amorphous and homogenous and the image contains a region with a hole, it may be possible to get first-order approximations of thickness and a range of Z-values for individual heavy atoms contained in the specimen by using simulation and simple scattering calculations.
Christopher ‘Zak’ Jost is 22 and is graduating this May from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with a B.S. in General Physics and an Honors certificate. Zak grew up in Troy, MO, a small rural town outside of St. Louis. After graduation, he plans to work for a year to help figure out which field he wants to specialize in, and then earn a Master's degree. Zak wants to eventually pursue a career in industry.
