Advancing electron microscopy through an innovative wavefront shaping tool

Wavefront shaping, which involves the spatial and time-dependent control of the phase in coherent waves, has revolutionized a wide range of scientific fields, including astronomy, seismology and telecommunications. Recently, a team of scientists from the University of Antwerp in Belgium, one of the IMPRESS project partners, has presented an innovative phase plate for quantum wavefront shaping in electron microscopes.
