Some of you probably know this already, but there’s actually more than one kind of electron microscope. In electronics work, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most common.

THE detail seen in a highly magnified electron micrograph is to-day limited more by a lack of contrast in the image than by any lack of resolution in the microscope, which is now usually capable ...

Figure 6: Phase space for operation of a scanning electron microscope at a fixed source brightness. Such new source designs may well halve the energy spread while doubling beam brightness.

This instrument is an advanced and digitally dedicated transmission electron microscope operating at 200kV with a field-emission gun. It is capable of an ultimate point-to-point resolution of 0.19 nm, ...
