Transmission Electron Aberration-corrected Microscope

Transmission Electron Aberration-corrected Microscope or TEAM is a $100 million US Department of Energy research project being conducted at five US laboratories.

The intention of the project is to develop a transmission electron microscope capable of half an angstrom (0.05 nanometres or 0.5 x 10−10 metres) resolution, about half the size of a hydrogen atom. As electron microscope lenses normally produce a significant amount of aberration, a complex system of lenses to correct the aberrated images is required.
