Abstract
An electron microscope is an optical device for producing high resolution of detail in the object by a beam of electrons.*(1,1a) There are three principal kinds of electron microscopes, classified according to how detail in the specimen is revealed by electrons: transmission, scanning, and emission. In the first two types, free electrons are discharged from an electron gun to act on the atomic nuclei of the specimen, whereas in the field-emission type, the specimen itself is the source of radiation.(1) The field-emission microscope (discussed in Chapter 16), employs no lenses, whereas the TEM and the SEM (see Chapter 15) employ focusable lenses.
