Abstract

A transmission electron microscopy system for imaging a sample, comprising: a pulse generator for generating an initial electron pulse towards the sample, the initial electron pulse to be propagated through the sample to obtain a transmitted electron pulse; an encoding device for encoding the transmitted electron pulse according to a predefined pattern to obtain an encoded electron pulse; a shearing device for temporally shearing the encoded electron pulse in a given direction to obtain a given electron pulse; a detector for detecting the given electron pulse to obtain a single image of the sample; and a datacube generator for determining a spatiotemporal datacube from the single image using the predefined pattern, and outputting the spatiotemporal datacube.
