We incorporated the cathode lens (CL) principle, well known from the emission microscope, to the SEM in order to operate at very low landing energies. The primary beam electrons of several keV are decelerated to nearly zero energy of landing on the specimen negatively biased to high potential. Reflected electrons are collected on a grounded detector situated above the sample but the same can be done below the sample of a fair transparency for electrons. High collection efficiency and high amplification of both detectors is secured thanks to the cathode lens field. We use a scintillation detector for the reflected mode and a semiconductor structure for the transmitted electron (TE) mode. In this arrangement resolution of few nm is obtainable across the full energy range.
