Abstract

A calibration standard includes a silicon substrate having a plurality of defined regions and a plurality of calibration marks placed on respective defined regions of the silicon substrate. Each calibration mark comprises a different calibration dimension indicator and a corresponding dimension identifier. A method for calibrating a transmission electron microscope using the standard comprises positioning the calibration standard in a viewing area of the transmission electron microscope and sequentially viewing the marks and adjusting the calibration of the microscope for each mark viewed.
