Advanced Optics and Statistics Analyzer

Comprehensive Guide and Formulas

Understanding wave optics and diffraction error metrics is essential for precise electron microscopy and physical measurements.

Formulas Used

• Fringe Width ($\beta$): $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$ where $\lambda$ is wavelength, $D$ is screen distance, and $d$ is slit separation.
• Dark Field Excitation Error ($s$): $s = s_{err} \cdot \cos(\theta)$ representing deviation from the exact Bragg reflecting condition.
• Statistical Variance & CV: Variance equals $\sigma^2$, and Coefficient of Variation is calculated as $(\sigma / \mu) \times 100$.
