In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), an electron beam passes through a thin sample layer, producing an interference pattern that reveals atomic-scale structures. While TEM is well-established, quantum metrology offers potential enhancements. Building on the experimental proposal in reference [1], which aims to detect individual quantum spins' magnetic moments using electron beams, we extend the analysis to include scattering dynamics in the paraxial high-energy regime. We calculate the quantum Fisher information for estimating magnetic moments using analytical and numerical methods, comparing it to classical methods with position-resolving electron detectors. Our goal is to determine the experimental conditions required to detect a single Bohr magneton with focused electron beams.
