Applying an information transmission approach to extract valence electron information from reconstructed exit waves

► Dynamic scattering and image formation processes limit interpretation of HREM images. ► Electron distribution (ED) can be obtained by solving two inverse problems. ► These two are: Exit wave reconstruction and retrieval of ED from exit waves. ► The two inverse problems are inherently same in view of information transmission. ► The method to solve one of the problems can also be used for the other.
