Abstract
We construct a magnetic type of transmission photoemission electron microscope (PEEM) which is similar in principle to a magnetic type of transmission X-PEEM called zooming tube developed by Hamamatsu Photonics. We aim to realize higher resolution and much remarkable compactness by optimized electron optical designs. The objective has tens parameters, Cs=8mm, Cc=7mm, fo=8mm, potential for photocathode -l6kV and electric field strength in front of photocathode 5000V/mm. The microscope is tested by various operation modes : TEM, X-PEEM (X-rays from Au-target and from BL12A at PF), UV-PEEM (He-Cd laser). A Chevron type of MCP is mainly used as the image detector besides a fluorescent screen. TEM mode shows fairly high resolution better than 40nm. The resolutions of X-PEEM and UV-PEEM deteriorate as compared with TEM case showing a level of 200nm. It is proved with biological samples that the microscope has wavelength-scan capability as expected, showing fairly high image quality.
