Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for acquiring Electron Energy Loss Spectrometry (EELS) spectra in a transmission electron microscope. The inventive system and method maximize spectrum acquisition rate and duty cycle by exposing a first portion of an image sensor to a first spectrum while a previously exposed potion of the sensor is read out of the sensor during some or all of the exposure time.
