In TEM the darker regions are more dense, heavier atoms. And the lighter regions are less dense, lighter atoms. Like carbon.
You can try fast Fourier transform via image analysis program like imageJ or Fiji
 
Thank you for the response. Those anybody knows what extra information (composition, orentations, etc.) can you get from TEM images?
