The electron source is the most important component of the Scanning electron microscope (SEM) since it is this which will determine the overall performance of the machine. The gun performance can be described in terms of quantities such as its brightness, its source size, its energy spread, and its stability and, depending on the chosen application, any of these factors may be the most significant one. The task of the electron gun in an SEM is, in fact, particularly difficult because of the very wide range of operational parameters that may be required e.g a variation in probe size of from a few angstroms to a few microns, and a probe current which may go from less than a pico-amp to more than a microamp. This wide range of operating parameters makes the choice of the optimum source for scanning microscopy a difficult decision.Historically, the first step up from the sealed glass tube ‘cathode ray generator’ was the simple, diode, tungsten thermionic emitter.

AbstractThere is quite a clear anticorrelation between the intrinsic peak frequency and the overall radio source size in compact steep spectrum (CSS) and gigahertz peaked spectrum (GPS) radio sources. This feature is interpreted in terms of synchrotron self-absorption (although free–free absorption may play a role as well) of the radiation emitted by a small radio source which is growing within the inner region of the host galaxy. This leads to the hypothesis that these objects are young and that the radio source is still developing/expanding within the host galaxy itself.Very young radio sources must have the peak in their radio spectra occurring above a few tens of gigahertz, and for this reason they are termed high frequency peakers (HFPs). These newly born radio sources must be very rare given that they spend very little time in this stage. Ho = 100 km s−1 Mpc−1 and qo = 0.5 are used throughout this paper.
