Abstract
Historically, ultra high spatial resolution electron microscopy has belonged to the transmission electron microscope. Today, however, ultra high resolution scanning electron microscopes are beginning to challenge the transmission microscope for the highest resolution.To accomplish high resolution surface imaging, not only is high resolution required. It is also necessary that the integrity of the specimen be preserved, i.e., that morphological changes to the specimen during observation are prevented. The two major artifacts introduced during observation are contamination and beam damage, both created by the small, high current-density probes necessary for high signal generation in the scanning instrument. The JSM-890 Ultra High Resolution Scanning Microscope provides the highest resolution probe attainable in a dedicated scanning electron microscope and its design also accounts for the problematical artifacts described above.Extensive experience with scanning transmission electron microscopes lead to the design considerations of the ultra high resolution JSM- 890.
