Phase-shifting electron holography is an excellent method to reveal electron wave phase information with very high phase sensitivity over a large range of spatial frequencies. It circumvents the limiting trade-off between fringe spacing and visibility of standard off-axis holography. Previous implementations have been limited by the independent drift of biprism and sample. We demonstrate here an advanced drift correction scheme for the hologram series that exploits the presence of an interface of the TEM specimen to the vacuum area in the hologram. It allows to obtain reliable phase information up to 2 pi/452 at the 1 angstrom information limit of the Titan 80-300 kV environmental transmission electron microscope used, by applying a moderate voltage of 250 V to a single biprism for a fringe spacing of 1 angstrom. The obtained phase and amplitude information is validated at a thin Pt sample by use of multislice image simulation with the frozen lattice approximation and shows excellent agreement. The presented method is applicable in any TEM equipped with at least one electron biprism and thus enables achieving high resolution off-axis holography in various instruments including those for in-situ applications. A software implementation for the acquisition, calibration and reconstruction is provided.
