Abstract
Secondary electron signals with 1 nm spatial resolution and 1 eV energy resolution obtained in a STEM are presented and discussed. Reflection SE images of oxidised Cu show oxide islands and details of their interaction with surface steps. Stopping power theory identifies inner shell excitations and well localised valence excitations rather than plasmon rather than plasmon excitations as the dominant SE generation mechanisms and accounts for the spatial resolution obtained.
