Abstract

An electron probe Auger emission microanalyzer has been constructed. The instrument is composed of an electromagnetic focussing primary probe column and a cylindrical mirror electron energy analyzer. By using this instrument, Auger electron spectroscopy studies have been carried out in the modes of both emission microanalysis and emission micrograph. The feasibility o£ this method is investigated through its application to the study of iron surface.
