The fast Fourier transform shows that 0.7 Å resolution was obtained at 600 °C. The resolution is close to the resolution limit of the TEM, 0.5 Å, and indicates that the Aduro™ system, even at this temperature, is not limiting the resolution of the TEM. As the temperature was ramped from room temperature to 600 °C during the experiment, the nanoparticles became increasingly dynamic. They started to coalesce, facets changed and defects in the material became mobile. The stability of Aduro™ made imaging, including real time movies, and analysis of these events possible at the atomic scale with unparalleled clarity.
