Abstract
⺠Spiral apertures form an alternative to fork apertures for producing electron vortex beams. ⺠Their advantage is that the three beams with different topological charge appear in different planes of focus. ⺠We show experimental evidence of vortex beams made with spiral apertures. ⺠We use them in a STEM setup to obtain the first atomic resolution HAADF STEM images with electron vortex probes. ⺠Such beams open the door for further atomic resolution magnetic information when combined with EELS.
