Abstract

The design of a low voltage point-projection field-emission transmission electron microscope is described and images showing 0.7nm resolution at 100 volts are given. A scheme for low voltage reflection electron holography from bulk samples in UHV is outlined. A new STM is described which allows atomic clusters to be transferred onto the tip, then introduced into a time-of-flight analyser for species identification.
