Abstract
This paper deals with a new kind of electron microscopy in which the specimen constitutes an electron mirror. The low velocity of the electrons in front of this mirror‐specimen enables pictorial representations of potential distributions on surfaces. A resolving power comparable to that of the light microscope has been obtained. Sample micrographs depicting surface reliefs, potential distributions on surfaces, and the distribution of electrical conductivity are shown. The peculiar kind of image formation is briefly discussed and reference is made to the potentialities of such a research tool for surface physics and metallurgy.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
