Figure 3.

Image “gold-20”, recorded at 8 μm defocus, showing how delocalization of one of the half-wavelets corresponding to the Au (111) lattice planes is moved outside the field of view of the camera. Gold nanoparticle #2 is labelled, with the diffracting crystallite labelled A, and the positions of 2.35 Å lattice fringe patches labelled B and C. Area C is outside the field of view, so this half-wavelet is not observed and it does not contribute to the power spectrum. Area B is shown at higher magnification in the right panel of Fig. 1B. The area outlined in the center would be the only region able to produce Thon-ring modulations at the 2.35 Å gold-lattice spacing in all directions, but, within this field of view, there is only about half of one of the 17 gold particles that is located within the outlined area. As a result, the power spectrum of this image shows no Thon-ring contribution to the power spectrum of such nanoparticles.
