(a) EEL spectra and (b) experimental and simulated PACBEDs for five different specimen thicknesses. (c) Example for a PACBED used to obtain angular scattering intensities. The four quadrants show energy filtered diffraction patterns (plasmon loss, zero loss and unfiltered) using the same logarithmic scale as well as the ratio of plasmon-loss pattern and zero-loss pattern with linear scale. (d) Magnification of the inner part with adjusted scaling to improve the visibility of the details in the center of the pattern.
