  bibo_abstract:
  - 'A phase plate has long been sought in transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
    to maximize the image contrast of weakly-scattering objects like biomolecules.
    The laser phase plate (LPP) has recently demonstrated that an amplified, focused
    laser standing wave reliably phase shifts the electron beam, achieving phase-contrast
    TEM. Building on the single-beam LPP, here we introduce the crossed laser phase
    plate (XLPP): two laser standing waves which intersect in the diffraction plane.
    We present a theoretical model for the XLPP inside the microscope and show that,
    relative to the original LPP, it increases information transfer at low spatial
    frequencies while suppressing ghost images formed by Kapitza-Dirac diffraction.
    We also present a simple acquisition scheme, enabled by the XLPP, which further
    suppresses ghosts. Finally, we discuss practical considerations of XLPP design
    and show experimental results from a prototype. The results of this study chart
    the course for future developments of LPP hardware.@eng'
