Corrector edit
isn't this information a little old. Several labs already have a Cs corrected microscope. I know ORNL has a couple.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leowiz (talk • contribs) 14:05, June 23, 2006
- TEAM will have a Cc corrector, as well as other things. eaolson 23:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Among other things, TEAM is aimed at 0.05 nm resolution, which I believe is better than the current Cs corrected microscopes - e.g. the one at Oxford at the moment is 0.1nm resolution (although they're getting a new one this year). Average Earthman 06:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- 3-rd order correctors and 0.1 nm resolution are a norm nowadays. Reaching beyond 0.05 nm is a leading achievement though - TEAM apparently has two correctors (both excitation and collection, whereas usually it is only the former), and the correctors, at least the top one, are of the 5-th order.

Clarify edit
Can someone please make this article more layman-friendly? For example, what is meant by the phrase "the wavelength of the light λ"? I checked out the various ideas in the λ disambiguation page, and my best guess is that "λ" means "wavelength", but if so, then "the wavelength of the light λ" makes little or no sense. Someone please clean this up! Keeves (talk) 21:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'll link. You're right about wavelength. No extra meaning, just symbol. Materialscientist (talk) 22:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Applications edit
So... what is this used for? Kent Wang (talk) 22:03, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- To see atoms in materials which were previously very hard to observe, such as graphene, lithium-based compounds, etc, and to identify individual atoms (whether it is carbon or whatever). Materialscientist (talk) 22:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Suggested retirement (deletion) edit
The TEAM project was important in its time. However, that has long passed and now almost every major university and national lab in the world has a comparable microscope. I think it is time to retire (delete) this page as it is now obsolete. Ldm1954 (talk) 18:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
