(color online) Schematic of the UTEM and the two typical experimental modes. (a) Simplified schematic of the UTEM experimental layout. (b) Electron dose in a single pulse for the stroboscopic mode (left) and the single-shot mode (right) (modified from Ref. [35], Fig. 1(a)). (c) Ultrafast electron microscope in our lab at the Institute of Physics. The UTEM is based on a JEOL EX2000 200-kV thermionic transmission electron microscope.
