Reconstruction of atomic resolution images from sparse datasets of radiation sensitive materials in scanning transmission electron microscopy

Scanning transmission electron microscopy is an imaging method that raster scans a focused high-energy electron beam across a thin sample and measures the electron intensity behind the specimen with either a small detector placed on axis (bright field) or a larger, ring-like detector placed off-axis (annular dark field).
