A central premise of autonomous scientific imaging is that smarter navigation, whether Bayesian, RL-based, or otherwise adaptive, is the principal lever for sample-efficient acquisition. We present evidence to the contrary in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), an atomic-resolution imaging modality whose every measurement deposits damaging electron dose.
arXiv:2606. 10547v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) tomography in Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) enables 3D compositional and elemental mapping at the nanoscale, but its use is limited by restricted tilt ranges and low-dose conditions required to avoid beam damage.

arXiv:2505. 12650v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reconstructing atomistic crystal structures from a single noisy STEM projection is an ill-posed inverse problem: multiple lattices can explain similar contrast, and purely feed-forward models cannot verify physical validity.
