Nitrogen-vacancy (NV), Silicon-vacancy (SiV) and other colour centres in diamond have been of rising interest in recent years due to their potential applications, such as quantum information processing[1] and fluorescent labelling in biology. For biological applications, NV and SiV centres can be created in nanodiamonds with sizes down to less than 10 nm[2,3]. Although structural characterisation of NV-centres has been done by optical and magnetic resonance methods, structure of other colour centres often remain uncovered. By using aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), atomic resolution can be achieved. However, the imaging conditions necessary to directly image the structure of an SiV, GeV and other new centres remain unclear. Here we explore the imaging conditions that are suitable for this problem by means of image simulations and subsequent testing using an FEI TITAN image-side aberration corrected TEM operated at 80 kV and 300 kV.
