← ScienceWhich mechanism primarily limits spatial resolution in electron microscope image contrast functions?
A)Chromatic aberration causes point spread✓
B)Specimen drift limits integration time
C)Electron scattering broadens beam profile
D)Vibrational noise reduces focus quality
💡 Explanation
When electrons pass through a lens with chromatic aberration, different energy electrons are refracted differently causing a point spread function which blurs the image, limiting resolution in the contrast function. Therefore chromatic aberration causes point spread limiting resolution; drift, scattering, and vibration have secondary effects.
