XL Schottky FEG Theory• Design Limitations• Longer electron-electron interaction times and
smaller electron-electron distances lead to higher statistical aberrations at low KV
• Chromatic aberration is more dominant at low voltages.

reduce aberrations and interactions by keeping a high beam energy in the tube

Obtaining an Image• The SEM operator needs to do two
things:
1- find the correct focus
2- determine the correct spot size
![Page 54: Quantrainx50 Module 3.1 Electron Optics](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020719/568163ce550346895dd514d5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Obtaining an Image• Focusing moves the crossover point of the
beam up and down, trying to place the focal point onto the sample
• Spot size controls the lateral size of the focused beam on the sample

Condenser Lens Action on Beam
• Decreased lens current creates more beam current

Spot Size Summary
• Smaller spot sizes for higher magnification• Larger spot size for x-ray analysis• Too large of spot may result in a de-focused
image• Too small of spot may result in poor S/N

How to get High Resolution (100.000 - 150.000x) (Tungsten)• Use 20-30 kV• Use spot 1• Use WD 5 mm• Tilt stage 10° • Take BSE detector out• Lock stage• Use image definition of 1024x884 or 2048x1768• Take 1 Frame, frametime min. 60 seconds• Move to new area after focusing/stigmation

Summary of Spot Size Affecting SEM Image
• The electron column is designed to produce smallest spot containing highest possible probe current
• Spot size limits minimum size of objects that can be separated
• Higher probe current improves the signal to background ratio
