Abstract: | A variety of gas cascade amplification and signal detection strategies have evolved for use in low vacuum and environmental
scanning electron microscopy on poorly conducting specimens. These detectors have been optimized to perform well under various
limitations on the range of gas pressure and working distance which may be imposed by experimental requirements. All of the
detectors must produce high gains, low backgrounds, and generate a sufficient positive ion flux to the specimen to enable
charge neutralization. The underlying principles of operation of each detector type are discussed, along with the range of
experimental conditions appropriate to each. |
