Abstract
In the scanning transmission electron microscope, both phase imaging of beam-sensitive materials and characterization of a material's functional properties using in situ experiments are becoming more widely available. As the practicable scan speed of 4D-STEM detectors improves, so too does the temporal resolution achievable for both differential phase contrast (DPC) and ptychography. However, the read-out burden of pixelated detectors, and the size of the gigabyte to terabyte sized data sets, remain a challenge for both temporal resolution and their practical adoption. In this work, we combine ultra-fast scan coils and detector signal digitization to show that a high-fidelity DPC phase reconstruction can be achieved from an annular segmented detector. Unlike conventional analog data phase reconstructions from digitized DPC-segment images yield reliable data, even at the fastest scan speeds. Finally, dose fractionation by fast scanning and multi-framing allows for postprocess binning of frame streams to balance signal-to-noise ratio and temporal resolution for low-dose phase imaging for in situ experiments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
