Abstract
The system of electron currents in the specimen chamber of a scanning microscope is analysed in detail for specimens of gold and aluminium. General conclusions are drawn about the magnitudes of the component currents for other types of specimen. Measurements of the efficiency of collection of electrons by the scintillator are given.Keywords
