Abstract
It is now possible to compute images of crystal structures corresponding to experimental images produced by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The variation of contrast with crystal thickness, microscope resolution and defocus has been faithfully reproduced by the calculations for some minerals and a binary oxide.
