Electron holography is a two-step imaging method. However, the ultimate performance of holographic imaging is mainly determined by the brightness of the electron beam used in the hologram-formation process. In our 350kV holography electron microscope (see Fig. 1), the decrease in the inherently high brightness of field-emitted electrons is minimized by superposing a magnetic lens in the gun, for a resulting value of 2 × 109 A/cm2 sr. This high brightness has lead to the following distinguished features. The minimum spacing (d) of carrier fringes is d = 0.09 Å, thus allowing a reconstructed image with a resolution, at least in principle, as high as 3d=0.3 Å. The precision in phase measurement can be as high as 2π/100, since the position of fringes can be known precisely from a high-contrast hologram formed under highly collimated illumination. Dynamic observation becomes possible because the current density is high.

The algorithm is considered for calculating the focal distance of a hollow conical electron beam generated by high-voltage glow discharge electron guns with magnetic focusing of the beam in the drift region, as well as a method for calculating the diameter of the focal ring and its thickness for such a beam. The proposed algorithm is based on the theory of electron drift in the field of a focusing magnetic lens and is designed using the methods of discrete mathematics and the minimax analysis. The obtained simulation results made it possible to establish the influence of the magnetic lens current on the focal diameter of a hollow conical electron beam and on its focal ring thickness. It is shown that the change in the focal parameters of a hollow conical electron beam can be effectively provided through the regulation of the magnetic lens current.

There have been a number of methods proposed and investigated for the correction of the spherical aberration, since this aberration is one of the most important factors which limit the performance of various kinds of electron beam instruments. A foil lens has been investigated preliminarily and the possibility of correcting the spherical aberration of a conventional magnetic lens with reasonable ease has been shown for the first time.The foil lens studied consists of an aperture diaphragm and a thin conducting foil fundamentally as is shown in Fig. 1, and is simple enough in design and adjustment. When the voltage is applied between the diaphragm and the foil, the curved potential distribution is produced around the aperture and the foil lens acts as a concave or negative lens. This concave lens produces the negative spherical aberration and can be utilized to correct the positive spherical aberration of the conventional magnetic lens.

The 350 kV field-emission electron microscope shown in Fig.1 has been developed to widen the applications of electron holography. A field emission beam is used because it is very bright at first and monochromatic. However, its brightness deteriorates while passing through accelerating electrodes and condenser lenses because of their spherical and chromatic aberrations. A magnetic lens is installed just below a (310)-oriented tungsten tip. A magnetic lens is used so that the electron source image can be located at the most favorable position between the accelerating tube and the first condenser lens to minimize the aberrations and to increase brightness. The measured brightness (probe current) ranges from 1.4x109 A/cm2/sr (0.37 nA) to 6.7x108 A/cm2/sr (2.2 nA) with 10 μA total emission current at 300 kV.These increased brightness and narrow energy spread of the electron beam enable observing fine spacing lattice fringes in a gold thin film. Lattice fringes of 0.065 nm spacing were actually observed in the electron micrograph shown in Fig. 2. The incident electron beam was along the [001] axis, and the (400) and reflected beams were used to form the fringes. A 0.055 nm spacing lattice image is shown in Fig. 3. These fringes resulted from the interference of the electron beam, with an incident axis from the [111] direction into the gold thin film, by the and diffracted beams. This spacing is the shortest observed to date.

Using the method of electron beam moire´, a small region at an interface of a [O2/ 90]s glass fiber reinforced plastic composite has been examined during tensile testing. The tensile test was conducted inside a scanning electron microscope, with a high spatial frequency line grating (10,000 lines/mm) at the interface between a longitudinal ply and a transverse ply. During the test, this region was observed at a magnification of 1900 × . Local strain measurements were made by interpreting the moire´ fringe patterns over gage lengths that varied from 10 to 30 μm. The magnitude and distribution of the local strains depended on the damage that occurred with monotonically increasing load. Load shedding by the transverse ply was evident from the fringe patterns. Extremely high local strains were observed: longitudinal fiber strains up to three percent, normal strains up to three percent, and shear strains up to 40 percent in the epoxy matrix.
