Abstract
The differential equation relating the flow of heat into and out from an electron microscope specimen, during irradiation, is solved approximately using a straightforward iterative procedure. This self-consistent solution is compared with other approximate solutions to this same problem. A further comparison is drawn between each of these approximate solutions and an accurate solution, obtained by numerical integration, showing that the self-consistent solution is close to the accurate solution for all specimen and beam conditions, including the range of conditions for which a satisfactory analytical solution did not previously exist.
