Recently discovered electron vortex beams (EVBs), which carry quantized orbital angular momenta (OAM), are envisioned to be used in combination with measurements of the electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) to determine the magnetic properties of a material in transmission electron microscopes. Since EVBs can be easily focused down to sub-nanometer diameters, this novel technique bears enormous potential for the quantification of spin and orbital magnetic moments with unrivalled lateral resolution. We use specially designed condenser apertures to generate isolated atom size EVBs with user-selectable OAM. Since the "purity" of the beam regarding the chosen OAM depends on the coherence of the electron source, we have used the monochromator in a double aberration corrected FEI Titan3 80-300 microscope to control the degree of this coherence. It will be presented, how a likewise improved coherence will affect the quality of the EMCD measurements.
