    In environmental scanning electron microscopes (ESEMs) specimens can be observed not only at vacuum conditions, but also at the pressure up to thousands of Pascals of different gases in the specimen chamber. It makes possible the direct observation of wet specimens, nonconductive specimens and phenomena on phase interfaces. Detection of signal electrons at the vacuum in the specimen chamber of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is often based on the Everhart-Thornley scintillation detector. Detection of low energy secondary electrons (SEs) by this detector requires adding voltage up to 10 kV to a thin conductive layer on the scintillator and creating an electric field in front of the scintillator. Secondary electrons emitted from the sample surface are accelerated in this electric field and receive sufficient energy to evoke scintillations in the scintillator. This method of the detection of secondary electrons cannot be used at a higher pressure of gases in the specimen chamber of the ESEM because of problems with electric discharges in the gas environment.
