In 4D STEM there is a pixelated electron detector located at the back focal plane which collects the CBED pattern at each scan location. While the process of data collection in 4D STEM is identical to that of standard STEM, each technique utilizes different detectors and collects different data. 4D STEM operating principle, as the beam rasters across the surface various detectors simultaneously store position specific locations in real space and diffraction patterns in momentum space Operating Principle In the late 2010s, the development of hybrid pixel array detectors (PAD) with single electron sensitivity, high dynamic range, and fast readout speeds allowed for practical 4D STEM experiments. CCD detectors commonly used in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) had limited data acquisition rates, could not distinguish where on the detector an electron strikes with high accuracy, and had low dynamic range which made them undesirable for use in 4D STEM. The field of 4D STEM remained underdeveloped due to the limited capabilities of detectors available at the time. The fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM) technique, proposed in 1996 by Treacy and Gibson, also included quantitative analysis of the differences in images or diffraction patterns taken at different locations on a given sample. McCallum and John Rodenburg attempted electron Ptychography analysis of crystalline Silicon. One of the earliest instances where the analysis of diffraction patterns as a function of probe position was considered took place in 1995, where Peter Nellist, B.C. The name 4D STEM is common in literature, however it is known by other names: 4D STEM EELS, ND STEM (N- since the number of dimensions could be higher than 4), position resolved diffraction (PRD), spatial resolved diffractometry, momentum-resolved STEM, 'nanobeam precision electron diffraction', scanning electron nano diffraction, nanobeam electron diffraction, or pixelated STEM. The technique has applications in visual diffraction imaging, phase orientation and strain mapping, phase contrast analysis, among others. Its development was enabled by evolution in STEM detectors and improvements computational power. This technique captures a 2 dimensional reciprocal space image associated with each scan point as the beam rasters across a 2 dimensional region in real space, hence the name 4D STEM.

4D scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D STEM) is a subset of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) which utilizes a pixelated electron detector to capture a convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) pattern at each scan location.
