Abstract
A method of imaging a specimen by transmission of electrons with energies below 1 MeV including the steps of passing a beam of electrons having energies that are less than 1 MeV through the specimen to produce a first transmitted electron beam; passing the first transmitted electron beam through an imaging screen to generate a light image and a second transmitted electron beam; preventing more than about 95% of the second transmitted electron beam from reflecting back to the imaging screen; and focusing the generated light image onto an electronic camera. The imaging screen includes a support structure and a light generating layer, in which the support structure has a thickness that is less than one half the Kanaya-Okayama range of electrons in the imaging screen.
