Figure 5 depicts STEM images obtained from bright-field (BF) detection. BF imaging was utilized rather than HAADF detection due to the latter having an image

• [24][25][26][27]. The ability of FEBID to write ultrasmall nanostructures has been demonstrated by using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with an electron probe of 0.2 nm operated at 200 kV [28][29]. By using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-assisted FEBID, Co nanowires of lateral

• dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) is used to study the morphology and distribution of the nanoclusters deposited by using different electron beam parameters. Although the as-deposited nanoclusters are composed of Pt and amorphous carbon, it is demonstrated that the
