Scanning transmission ion microscope with a field ion source.

Scanning transmission ion microscope with a field ion source.

Experiments with a low-resolution scanning transmission ion microscope, using hydrogen ions from a field ionization source, indicate that it will be feasible by this approach to aim at high-resolution ion microscopy. Micrographs of unstained biological specimens have been obtained by critical range absorption of a 55 keV hydrogen ion beam at a resolution of 2000 A.

Scanning reflection ion microscopy in a helium ion microscope

Reflection ion microscopy (RIM) is a technique that uses a low angle of incidence and scattered ions to form an image of the specimen surface. This paper reports on the development of the instrumentation and the analysis of the capabilities and limitations of the scanning RIM in a helium ion microscope (HIM). The reflected ions were detected by their "conversion" to secondary electrons on a pla...
