Very low energy STEM for biology
Frank, Luděk ; Nebesářová, Jana ; Vancová, Marie ; Paták, Aleš ; Müllerová, Ilona
Examination of tissue sections with transmitted electrons has been performed at energies of hundreds and tens of eV with thicknesses of sections of 10 nm or less. This was possible by employing the cathode lens principle working without lowest energy limitations with the help of biasing the sample to a high negative potential. The reflected and transmitted electrons were attracted with the same electric field to earthed detectors situated above and below the sample. Very high image contrasts have been obtained even for samples free of any heavy metal salts for contrast enhancement.

The first experience with a low voltage electron microscope
Nebesářová, Jana
The low voltage electron microscope LV EM 5 manufactured by Delong Instruments is described and methods of preparation of biological specimens for the observation in this microscope are briefly evaluated. LV EM 5 is a unique apparatus that could replace in medical and biological research laboratories high volatage transmission electron microscopes.
