We compare different trajectories for C5-free C3 aberration correctors for scanning transmission electron microscopes, and find an asymmetric solution that minimizes the CC contributions and power supply stability requirements compared to a symmetric one. We further study the field aberrations of a C5-free quadrupole-octupole C3 aberration corrector and find that they are similar to those of sextupole C3-correctors in their suitability for wide-beam imaging applications. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
