7. Surface properties; MDO 261 detector counts the number of low energy secondary electrons (SE), and other radiation from each point. Simultaneously, the spot of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is scanned across the microscope screen, and its brightness modulated by the amplified current from the detector. The electron beam and CRT spot are scanned in a similar way to a television, in a rectangular array of straight lines known as a raster [5]. The magnification of the microscope is the ratio of the CRT screen dimensions, to the area being scanned on the sample; e.g. if the beam scans an area 50 × 50 µm, displayed on a screen 10 × 10 cm, magnification = 10×10 -2 / 50×10 -6 = 2000. Beam interaction with sample As the electron beam interacts with the sample, the energy of the incident electrons is reduced, resulting in a number of secondary, backscattered and other emissions. Fig. (7.2) summarises the radiation emitted from a sample surface exposed to the electron beam in an SEM.

7. Surface properties; MDO 262 All SEMs have facilities for detecting SEs and backscattered electrons (BSEs); either can be used for imaging on the CRT, but each provides different information about the sample. X-rays are generally used for chemical analysis, and will be discussed later. The different types of radiation generated are a result of inelastic scattering. Only radiation generated which escapes the sample will be detected. X-rays are not absorbed easily, therefore most will escape from the sample and the volume of the material contributing to X-rays (the sampling volume) is almost equivalent to the interaction volume [5]. Electrons which are backscattered will not escape the sample if they are generated at depths greater than around 1 µm, resulting in a smaller region that the backscattered signal is gathered from. The actual sampling volume is around 0.1 µm into the sample, for materials of medium atomic weight, as low energy BSEs originate too far from the incident beam to be detected [5]. A small number of SEs are generated from escaping BSEs, but most are from electrons in the incident beam which enter the sample. Because of this, the SE signal originates from a region slightly larger than the diameter of the incident beam [5]. Electron detection SEs are detected using an Everhart-Thornley detector, which is based on a scintillator- photomultiplier system. For flat samples, this type of detectors is highly efficient, collecting virtually all the SEs [5]. It should be noted, BSEs travelling at the appropriate angle, will strike the Everhart-Thornley detector, although the number of BSEs is negligible. The two most common types of BSE detectors are scintillator-photomultiplier
