A better way of finding nanoclusters in STEM data

(From article) Structures and simulated STEM images for a 309-atom cluster: From left to right we have an ino-decahadron, a modeled STEM image of the same structure, followed by an Icosahedron also with its resepctive modeled STEM image.

Researchers develop near-atomic resolution in STEM using spherical aberration correction.
