Abstract
In this work we show that performing a numerical correction for beam attenuation and indirect excitation allows one to fully restore element sensitivity in the three-dimensional reconstruction of the atomic structure. This is exemplified by a comparison of atomic images reconstructed from holograms measured for ordered and disordered phases of a Cu3Au crystal that clearly show sensitivity to changes in occupancy of the atomic sites. Moreover, the numerical correction, which is based on quantitative methods of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, was extended to take into account the influence of a disturbed overlayer in the sample.
