摘  要 本文研制了一套透射-反射式扫描透射(STEM)明场成像装置,该装置使用背散射电子探头接收经过铂片反射的透射电子信号,可安装在FEI Quanta FEG系列扫描电镜中实现STEM明场成像。分别以埃洛石、Au@ZIF-8纳米颗粒和喷金乳胶标样验证自制STEM明场成像装置的实用性。结果表明:埃洛石STEM明场像的衬度与透射电镜中STEM明场像一致,管腔和管壁具有明显的衬度差异,可以清晰辨识管腔结构;在Au@ZIF-8纳米颗粒的STEM明场像中,Au颗粒衬度较暗,ZIF-8衬度较亮,通过两者之间的衬度差异可以观察到核壳结构;喷金乳胶标样上纳米金颗粒之间可识别的最小距离为2.03 nm,进一步验证了自制STEM明场成像装置具有较高的分辨率。

Abstract  A transmission-reflection scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) bright field (BF) imaging device was developed. The device used a back-scattering electron detector (BSED) to receive transmission electron signals reflected by platinum plates, and was installed in FEI Quanta FEG series scanning electron microscopy to realize the STEM-BF imaging. The practicability of self-made STEM-BF imaging device was verified by checking halloysite, Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles and Au nanoparticles. The results showed that the contrast of STEM-BF image of halloysite in SEM was consistent with that of STEM-BF image in TEM. The lumen and wall had obvious contrast difference, clearly identifying the lumen structure. Revealed by the STEM-BF image of Au@ZIF-8 nanoparticles, the contrast of Au particles was darker and that of ZIF-8 was brighter, and the core-shell structure was observed through the contrast difference. The minimum discernible distance between Au nanoparticles on carbon film of standard sample was 2.03 nm, further demonstrating that the self-made STEM-BF imaging device had a high resolution.
