Electron spectroscopy using two-dimensional electron detection and a camera in a single electron counting mode

Abstract

A brief description is given of an economical implementation of the read out of a two-dimensional detector in an electron spectrometer by a charge coupled device camera, using a pulse counting mode. Count rates up to 10 kHz can be handled in this way. A comparison with results obtained using a resistive anode detector is given for the case of electron scattering from Xe atoms. Good agreement was obtained between both detection techniques, establishing the validity of the method described here. Show more
