One goal in electron microscopy of biological specimens is to improve the quality of data to equal the resolution capabilities of modem transmission electron microscopes. Radiation damage and beam- induced movement caused by charging of the sample, low image contrast at high resolution, and sensitivity to external vibration and drift in side entry specimen holders limit the effective resolution one can achieve. Several methods have been developed to address these limitations: cryomethods are widely employed to preserve and stabilize specimens against some of the adverse effects of the vacuum and electron beam irradiation, spot-scan imaging reduces charging and associated beam-induced movement, and energy-filtered imaging removes the “fog” caused by inelastic scattering of electrons which is particularly pronounced in thick specimens.Although most cryoholders can easily achieve a 3.4Å resolution specification, information perpendicular to the goniometer axis may be degraded due to vibration. Absolute drift after mechanical and thermal equilibration as well as drift after movement of a holder may cause loss of resolution in any direction.

AbstractIn a novel modification of transient differential transmission spectroscopy, the first excited state S1 is reexcited via a second laser pulse towards a higher lying state Sn. The dynamics of the relaxation of this state Sn as well as the states created from Sn are revealed by a broad-band probe pulse.We find that the charge carrier generation efficiency from Sn is higher compared to S1. The push and probe durations below 20 fs enable the temporal resolution of the ultrafast relaxation of the Sn state and enables us to identify the two main contributions to enhanced charge generation from Sn, energy migration towards sites of high dissociation probability, and exciton dissociation during vibrational relaxation.
