I.THEMICROSCOPE

   

I.A.PRINCIPLESOFTHETRANSMISSIONELECTRONMICROSCOPE(TEM)

I.A.1.OriginoftheTransmissionElectronMicroscope

   

I.A.2.ComparisonofLight(LM)andElectronMicroscopes(Fig.I.1)

a.Similarities(Arrangementandfunctionofcomponentsaresimilar)

1)Illuminationsystem:producesrequiredradiationanddirectsitontothespecimen.Consistsofasource,whichemitstheradiation,anda

condenserlens,whichfocusestheilluminatingbeam(allowingvariationsofintensitytobemade)onthespecimen.

2)Specimenstage:situatedbetweentheilluminationandimagingsystems.

3)Imagingsystem:Lenseswhichtogetherproducethefinalmagnifiedimageofthespecimen.Consistsofi)anobjectivelenswhichfocusesthe

beamafteritpassesthroughthespecimenandformsanintermediateimageofthespecimenandii)theprojectorlens(es)whichmagnifiesa

portionoftheintermediateimagetoformthefinalimage.

4)Imagerecordingsystem:Convertstheradiationintoapermanentimage(typicallyonaphotographicemulsion)thatcanbeviewed.

b.Differences

1)Opticallensesaregenerallymadeofglasswithfixedfocallengthswhereasmagneticlensesareconstructedwithferromagneticmaterialsand

windingsofcopperwireproducingafocallengthwhichcanbechangedbyvaryingthecurrentthroughthecoil.

2)MagnificationintheLMisgenerallychangedbyswitchingbetweendifferentpowerobjectivelensesmountedonarotatingturretabovethe

specimen.Itcanalsobechangedifoculars(eyepieces)ofdifferentpowerareused.IntheTEMthemagnification(focallength)oftheobjective

remainsfixedwhilethefocallengthoftheprojectorlensischangedtovarymagnification.

3)TheLMhasasmalldepthoffield,thusdifferentfocallevelscanbeseeninthespecimen.Thelarge(relative)depthoffieldintheTEMmeans

thattheentire(thin)specimenisinfocussimultaneously.

4)Mechanismsofimageformationvary(phaseandamplitudecontrast).

5)TEMsaregenerallyconstructedwiththeradiationsourceatthetopoftheinstrument:thesourceisgenerallysituatedatthebottomofLMs.

6)TEMisoperatedathighvacuum(sincethemeanfreepathofelectronsinairisverysmall)somostspecimens(biological)mustbedehydrated

(i.e.dead!!).

7)TEMspecimens(biological)arerapidlydamagedbytheelectronbeam.

8)TEMscanachievehighermagnificationandbetterresolutionthanLMs.

9)Pricetag!!!(100xmorethanLM)

I.A.3.Photons/Electrons

a.Dualconceptofwaveandparticle(Fig.I.4)

Lighthaspropertiesbothofaparticleandawave.Thisdualnatureisrequiredtosatisfactorilyexplaintheresultsofvariousphysicalexperiments.

Thediffractionoflight(bendingaroundcorners)illustratesthewavenature.TheWAVETHEORYisbasedonthestatisticalnatureofeventsand

haslittlemeaningwithrespecttothebehaviorofsingleparticles.ThewavetheorywasdevelopedandexpoundedbyHuygens(16291695)and

Hooke(16381703).TheCORPUSCULARTHEORYwasproposedbyNewton(16421727)andbecamethemoreacceptedtheoryevenafter

demonstrationofdiffractionbyYoung(17731829)andinterferencebyFresnel(17881827).Atabout1850,thewavetheorycamebackinto

favoruntilabout1900whenmoreevidenceforthecorpusculartheorywasdiscovered.

QUANTUMTHEORY(PlanckandEinstein)providesthebasisforexplainingthephenomenaofINTERFERENCE,DIFFRACTIONandthe

PHOTOELECTRICeffect(lightfallingoncertainmetalscausethemtoemitelectrons)andthusformsacommonbasisforexplainingthenatureof

actionoflight.Thetransferofenergybetweenlightandmatteroccursonlyindiscretequantitiesproportionaltothefrequencyofthe

lightwave.

b.Electronvelocityandwavelength

Therelationbetweenthewavelength(l )ofaparticleofmass,m,movingatavelocity,v,isgivenbytheDeBrogliewaveequation:

Thus,forexample,ifV=60,000volts,l =0.005nm.

Fromequation(3)theelectronvelocitycanbecalculatedifVisknown:

Thefollowingtableillustratesthat,athighvoltage,electronvelocityiscomparabletothespeedoflightinavacuum(c=3



Theequationbreaksdownwhenthevelocityoftheelectronapproachesthespeedoflightbecausearelativisticcorrectionmustbemadeforthe

valueofthemasswhere:

Therelationbetweenl andVismorecorrectlygivenby:(seeHall(1966)pp.3334)

Thefollowingtableisobtainedwhenrelativityeffectsareincluded:

c.Interference/diffraction/coherence

Anideallenssystemobtainsanexactimageoftheobject(eachpointfaithfullyreproduced).Thephenomenaofdiffractionmakesthis

unattainable(Figs.I.5,I.6).

Diffractionphenomenainvolvesthebendingofthepathofradiationpassingclosetoanobstacle(Fig.I.6).Thisresultsinaspreadingofthe

radiationintotheregionbehindtheobstructionthatthewavespassed.Thediffractionatedgescontributestothecontrastatwhichanedgecan

beobserved.Diffractionalsolimitstheresolvingpowerofthemicroscopesincetheimagepointproducedbyalensisadiffractionimageofthe

openingofthelensortheaperturerestrictingtheeffectiveopeningofthelens(Fig.I.5).

Ifthelightsourceandtheplaneatwhichthediffractionpatternisobservedareatfinitedistancesfromtheedge,thephenomenoniscalled

Fresneldiffraction.Thepatternisdescribedasduetointerferencebetweenthenondiffractedlightandawaveoflightdiffractedattheedge.

Theresultingsuperpositiongivesrisetoaseriesofdiffractionfringesorientedparalleltotheedgeandrepresentingperiodicallyvaryingbrightness,

maximaandminima.(Figs.I.7,1.8,I.9).

Coherence:Aprerequisiteforinterferenceisasuperpositionofwavesystemswhosephasedifferenceremainsconstantintime.Twobeams

arecoherentif,whencombined,theyproduceaninterferencepattern.Thebeamsareincoherentwhentheyareincapableofproducingan

interferencepattern.Twobeamsoflightfromselfluminoussourcesareincoherent.Iflightfromthetwosourcesfallsonascreen,theresultant

intensityissimplythesumofthetwointensitieswhichwouldoccurfromeachsourceseparately(Figs.I.10,I.11).Inpracticeanemittingsource

hasfiniteextentandeachpointofthesourcecanbeconsideredtogeneratelight.EachsourcegivesrisetoasystemofFresnelfringesatthe

edge.Thesuperpositionofthesefringesystemsisfairlygoodforthefirstmaximaandminimabutfartherawayfromtheedgeshadowtheoverlap

ofthefringepatternsbecomessufficientlyrandomtomakethefringesdisappear.Thenatureofwaves,phase,amplitude,andinterferenceare

illustratedinFigs.I.12andI.13.

d.Resolution

1)Definitions:

RESOLUTION:abilitytodistinguishcloselyspacedpointsasseparatepoints.

RESOLUTIONLIMIT:smallestseparationofpointswhichcanberecognizedasdistinct.

RESOLVINGPOWER:resolutionachievedbyaparticularinstrumentunderoptimumviewingconditions.

2)Distinctionbetweenresolutionandresolvingpower:

Notethedistinctionbetweenresolutionandresolvingpower.Resolvingpowerisapropertyoftheinstrumentandisaquantitythatmaybe

estimatedontheoreticalgrounds.Resolutionisequaltoorpoorerthantheresolvingpowerandisthequantityobservedunderanygivenset

ofexperimentalconditions.IntheTEM,especiallywithbiologicalsamples,theresolutionachievedmaybeconsiderablyinferiortothetheoretical

resolvingpoweroftheinstrument.

Microscopyisthescienceofseeingtheverysmall.Underidealconditions,theeyeresolvesabout1minuteofarc(=1/60degree=2.9x10

4



radian;recallthereare2p radiansin360°)andsinceitcanfocusdowntoabout250mm,thesmallestobjectwecanresolveisabout0.07mm

(70mm)(Fig.I.14).Thislimitisrelatedtothesizeofthereceptorsintheretinaoftheeye.Thefunctionofamicroscopeistomagnifytheimage

fallingontheretina(Fig.I.15).Theadvantageoflightandelectronmicroscopesisthattheyeffectivelygettheobjectclosertotheeyesoa

magnifiedimageisobtainedandmoredetailcanbediscerned.

TENNISBALLANALOGY:Eyecanresolve3cmat100meters,thusatennisballisclearlyvisible.Butifthetennisballisheldupagainstawhite

background,thevisibilitydecreases(becauseofthedecreaseincontrast).

3)Abbecriteriaofresolution:

Thefundamentalnatureoflightposeslimitsonthedetailthatcanberesolved(Fig.I.16).Abbe(1893)showedthatthesmallestresolvable

distanceisabout1/2thewavelengthoflightused.Thus,1/2thewavelengthoftheradiationusedistheultimateresolvingpowerofany

instrument.Thislimitstheusablemagnificationofopticalmicroscopesto<1000X.Atfirstitwasthoughtthatxraymicroscopeswouldbeuseful

buttherefractiveindexofsubstancesforxraysisnearly=1,thusrefractinglensescannotbemadeforxrays,andconsequently,xrayscannot

beeasilyfocusedtoformimages.

4)Magnificationlimits:

Themaximummagnificationofaninstrumentislimitedaccordingtothefollowingrelationship:

Thus,fortheLM,witharesolvingpowerofapproximately0.25µm,themaximum(useful)magnificationisabout250µm/0.25µm=1000X.Thevalue

usedfortheresolvingpoweroftheeyeinthisexample(250µm)representsamorerealisticviewingcondition.Anymagnificationabovethevalue

givenbytheaboveformularepresentsemptymagnification,sincesuchmagnificationleadstonomoreusefulinformationbutratheramagnified

blur.

AccordingtotheAbbecriteria,at60,000volts,theTEMshouldhavearesolvingpowerofabout0.0025nm.Thisshouldallowamaximumuseful

magnificationofabout100milliontimes!!!Inpractice,themaximumusefulmagnificationoftheTEMoperatedat60kVislimitedtomuchlessthan

1,000,000X.Thus,althoughtheLMnearlyobeystheAbbecriteria,theTEMfallsshortbyaconsiderableamount.Themainlimitingfactorinthe

TEM,withrespecttoachievingthetheoreticalresolvingpoweroftheinstrument,concernsthenatureoftheimaginglensesandtheprocessof

imageformation.

5)Rayleighcriteria(practicalbutarbitrary):(Fig.I.17).

Itistheabilityofmicroscopestomakeobjectpointswhichareclosetogetherappearintheimageasseparatepoints.Anideallenstakeseach

objectpointandrepresentsitexactlyasapointintheimage.Areallenstakeseachobjectpointandspreadsitoutintoacirculardisk(Airy

disk)intheimageplanewhosediameterdependsontheangularapertureofthelens.

Theshortestdistancebetween2disksatwhichthetwodisksappearpartiallyseparatedcorrespondstoabout1/2thewidthofthedisks.The

distance,d,inobjectspaceisgivenby:

a=semiangularapertureofthelens

NOTE:n

•

sina=thenumericalaperture(N.A.)ofthelens.

Thus,tomaximizeresolvingpower,l mustbedecreased,nincreased,oraincreased.Recallthatweareconcernedatthemomentwithan

aberrationfreeopticalsystem.Thevaluefortheconstant(0.61)iscontroversialbecauseitdependsonthecoherenceoftheradiationanda

criteriaofvisibility.

FortheLM,usingoilimmersionoptics(n=1.5),sina=0.87,andvioletlight(l =400nm),d=0.2µm.Theonlywaytoimprovetheresolutionisto

uselightofshorterwavelengthsinceN.A.cannotbeincreasedbeyond~1.5.FortheTEM,n=1(vacuum),sina=10

I.A.4.Optics(LensTheory)

a.Basiclawsofclassicalgeometricaloptics

1)Rectilinearpropagationoflightwhenn(refractiveindex)isconstant.



2)Lawofreflection:

3)Lawofrefraction(Snell'sLaw):

4)Independenceofrays.Theassumptionismadethatlightraystravelindependentlythroughspace.

Theselawsholdforelectrons,except#4,ifthecurrentdensityistoohighwhennegativechargedelectronscaninterfere.

b.Classicalvs.electronoptics

1)Classicaloptics:Therefractiveindexchangesabruptlyatasurfaceandisconstantbetweenthesurfaces.Therefractionoflightatsurfaces

separatingmediaofdifferentrefractiveindicesmakesitpossibletoconstructimaginglenses.Glasssurfacescanbeshaped.

2)Electronoptics:Here,changesintherefractiveindexaregradualsoraysarecontinuouscurvesratherthanbrokenstraightlines.Refraction

ofelectronsmustbeaccomplishedbyfieldsinspacearoundchargedelectrodesorsolenoids,andthesefieldscanassumeonlycertaindistributions

consistentwithfieldtheory.

c.Geometricalandphysicaloptics

Thefundamentalprinciplesofopticsgovernthedesignandoperationofboththelightandelectronmicroscopes.Thebasicopticalprinciples

involvingtheuseofrefractileelementsorlensesinordertoformmagnifiedimagesareidenticalinboththeLMandTEM.TheTEMdiffersfromthe

LMonlyintheradiationitusesandinthewayinwhichtheradiationisbentorrefracted.

Geometricalopticsdealswiththestudyofthepathsfollowedby'rays'oflightorelectronsthroughlensesandapertures,andthegeometrical

constructionsusedtofindtherelativepositionsandsizesofobjectsandtheirimages.Arayoflightorelectronsisdefinedasaninfinitelythin

pencilorbeam.Physicalopticsshowsthatthisanabstractionandcannotphysicallyexistbecauseof'diffraction'whichdealswiththewave

natureoflightandelectrons.Allresultsobtainedingeometricalopticscanbederivedfromtheprinciplesofphysicaloptics,alongwithother

phenomenasuchasinterferenceanddiffractionwhicharenotexplicableinsimplegeometricalterms.

d.Idealversesreallenses:

Lensesareusedtobendraysoflightorelectronssotheyaredeflectedinapredictablewayfromtheiroriginalpaths.Thepropertiesofanideal

lens,possessinganaxisofrotationalsymmetryare:

1)Eachrayofthebundleofrayswhichpassesfromanobjectpointwillberefractedbytheideallenstomeetinoneimagepoint.

2)Raysoriginatingfrompointswhichlieonaplaneperpendiculartotheaxis,mustbeimagedinaplanewhichisalsoperpendiculartotheaxis.

3)Theimageappearsliketheobjectirrespectiveofthemagnification,sotherelativelineardimensionsoftheobjectarepreservedintheimage.

Inpractice,theimagingbyanyreallensdoesnotcorrespondtothatoftheideallensowingtothefactthatanobjectpointisrepresentedbya

diffractionimage(Airydisc)ofthelensopeningortheapertureusedforrestrictingtheeffectiveopeningofthelens.Thisisaresultofthewave

likepropertiesoflight.Lensaberrationsalsocontributetomoreorlesspronounceddeviationsfromthepropertiesoftheideallens.

Thesinglerefractingsurfaceofsphericalcurvatureisthefundamentalunitoffocusingactionbyglasslenses.Sphericalrefractingsurfacesactas

lensesforparaxialrayswhicharethoseraysthatpassclosetotheprincipalaxisofthelens.RayswithlargeangleswillNOTobeyideallens

action.

Afundamentaldifferencebetweenlightandmagneticlensesisthattheelectronbeamdoesnotchangeinforwardvelocityasitpassesthrough

themagneticfield(lightraysslowdownwhenpassingintoamediumofhigherrefractiveindex).Refractioniscontinuouswithelectronswhenthey

areinthemagneticfield:lightisrefractedonlyattheinterfacebetweenmediaofdifferingrefractiveindex.Theelectronsalsofollowspiral

trajectoriesthroughthemagneticfield(seealsoSec.I.A.5.c(Magneticfieldsandmagneticlenses)

e.Raydiagrams:(Figs.I.20I.28)

Themethodofconstructionofraydiagramsisbasedonthreesimpleprinciples:

1)Allraysenteringthelensparalleltotheaxisarebroughttoacommonpointontheaxis,thefocalpoint.

2)Allrayspassingthroughthegeometricalcenterofthelensareundeviatedandpassstraighton,nomatterfromwhichdirectiontheycome.

3)Principleofreversibility:ifthedirectionofarayisreversedinanysystemtherayexactlyretracesitspaththroughthesystem.Thisapplies

onlytothelocationoflightpathsandnottotheintensityofthelight.

Theaboveprinciplesarebasedontheassumptionsthatwearedealingwithathinlensandconcernedwiththepathsofparaxialrays.The

standardconventionistodrawdiagramswithraysthattravelfromlefttoright.Theobjectistotheleft(infront)ofthelensandtheimageisto

theright(behind)ofthelens.

f.Definitions:

Realimage:oneatwhichlightraysphysicallyreunite,sothataphotographicplateplacedatthepositionofarealimageisexposed.

VirtualImage:onefromwhichlightraysappeartodiverge;raysarenotinfactconcentratedatthepositionofavirtualimage,sothata

photographicplateplacedatthepositionoftheimageisnotexposed(byfocusedrays).Placinganopticalsystemsuchastheeyebehindthe

lens,willenablethedivergentraystobefocusedtoformarealimage.TheintermediatelensofanTEMissometimesusedthiswayinorderto

reducethefinalsizeoftherealimageformedbytheprojectorlens(es).

Converging(positive)lens:bendsraystowardtheaxis.Ithasapositivefocallength.Formsarealinvertedimageofanobjectplacedtothe

leftofthefirstfocalpointandanerectvirtualimageofanobjectplacedbetweenthefirstfocalpointandthelens.

Diverging(negative)lens:bendsthelightraysawayfromtheaxis.Ithasanegativefocallength.Anobjectplacedanywheretotheleftofa

diverginglensresultsinanerectvirtualimage.Itisnotpossibletoconstructanegativemagneticlensalthoughnegativeelectrostaticlensescan

a.Electronemission

Innershellelectronsinmetalatomsshieldtheelectricfieldofthenucleusthroughtherepulsiveforcestheyexertontheoutershell(valence)

electrons.Thustheattractionbetweenthevalenceelectronsandthenucleusisreduced.Metalatomsarecharacterizedashavingtwoloosely

boundvalenceelectronswhichmigratefreely(thisiswhymetalsaregoodelectricalconductors)andcanescapefromthemetalcompletelyif

sufficientadditionalenergyisimpartedtothem.Asthetemperatureofametalisincreased,thekineticenergyoftheelectronsincreasesbecause

ofincreasedthermalvibrationsofthemetalions,whichcollidemorefrequentlywiththeelectrons.Thermionicemissionisthetermusedto

describetheprocessbywhichthermalenergyissuppliedtolooselyboundelectronsinordertoformasourceofelectrons.

Atroomtemperatureelectronsareeffectivelypreventedfromescapingthesurfaceofthemetalowingtotheattractiveforceofthepositively

chargedions.Asthetemperatureisincreasedsomeelectronsacquiresufficientenergytoovercometheattractionandleavethemetal

temporarily.Metal,shapedasathinwire,caneasilybeheatedbypassinganelectriccurrentthroughit.Sincethemetalsurfacebecomes

positivelycharged,acertainlevelofenergy(workfunction)mustbesuppliedtoallowelectronstoescapefromthesurface.Eachmetalhasa

characteristicworkfunction.Tungsten,withalowworkfunction,emitsmoreelectronsthanmetalswithhigherworkfunctions(seealsopp.2930

andFig.I.59).

Ifastrongelectrostaticfieldisappliedinavacuumbetweenthewire(givenanegative,cathode,potential)andananode,theelectricfieldwill

causeelectronstoaccelerateawayfromthewiretowardstheanodesurface(Fig.I.33).Thespeedoftheelectronsdependsonthestrengthof

theelectrostaticfield(voltage)betweenthecathodeandanode(equation(3),Sec.I.A.3.b)Thenumberofelectronswhichleavethewire

dependsonthetemperaturetowhichthewireisheated,whichdependsonhowmuchfilamentcurrentpassesthroughthewire.

A"V"shapedwirewillhavethehighesttemperatureatthetip.Electronswithdrawnfromthefilamenttipcarryelectricchargestotheanode.This

electriccurrent,whichflowsbetweenthefilamentandtheanode,iscalledthebeamcurrent.

1)Electricfield/Equipotentials

Anelectricallychargedobjecthasassociatedwithitanelectricfield.Thus,anelectricallychargedparticle,whenbroughtnearachargedobject,

isinfluencedbyanelectricalforceinthevicinityoftheobject.Theforceisdirectedtowardthechargedobjectifthechargesareofopposite

signsandawayfromtheobjectiftheyareofsimilarsign.DEFINITION:Thedirectionofanelectricfieldisdefinedasthedirectionoftheforce

actingonapositivecharge.(Figs.I.3435)

Alongthelinesofforceconnectingthetwocharges,theelectricpotentialwillchangegraduallybetweentheextremevaluesrepresentedbythe

twocharges.DEFINITION:Equipotentiallinesdefinethepointsalongthelinesofforcewithidenticalelectricalpotential.Theseequipotential

surfacesarealwaysorientedperpendiculartothelinesofforce.Thechangesintheelectricpotentialaregradualinspace.

Electronswhichenterafieldbetweentwoparallelplatesinadirectionparalleltotheplatesareaffectedbytheforcedirectedperpendicularto

theplates(FigI.36).Theelectronswillbeattractedtowardthepositiveplate.Thepathchangesinaseriesofgradualstepsattheequipotential

surfaces.

FigureI.37showshowtheelectronpathis"refracted"attheequipotentialsurface.TheresultisfundamentallythesameasthatgivenbySnell's

Lawofrefractioninlightoptics.Aconsequenceofthisisthatasphericallycurvedequipotentialsurfaceexhibitsthepropertiesofalens.

FiguresI.38andI.39showhowbothpositive(converging)andnegative(diverging)electrostaticlensescanbeformed.Thisfeatureof

electrostaticlensesdiffersfromelectromagneticlenseswhichcanonlyactasconverginglenses.

2)Advantages/Disadvantagesofelectronlenses:

Thefactthattherefractiveindexdoesnotchangeabruptlyinelectronlenseshasoneadvantageinthattherearenotroublesomereflectionsat

equipotentialsasatglassinterfaces.Thereisaseriousdisadvantageinthatequipotentialscannotbeshapedandcombinedinarbitraryfashionto

correctforchromaticaberrationandothererrors.

Althoughelectronmicroscopeswhichemployelectrostaticlenseshavebeenmade,mostmicroscopesuseelectromagneticlenses.Amajorreason

isthatelectrostaticlensesaremoresensitivetothequalityofthevacuumandcleanlinessofthecomponentsthanareelectromagneticlenses.

Somelensaberrationsaremoresevereforelectrostaticlensescomparedtoelectromagneticlenses.Electrostaticlensesrequireverypowerful

electrostaticfieldswhichcanleadtoelectricalbreakdownor"arcingover"insidethecolumn,especiallyunderpoorvacuumconditions.Forthis

reason,electrostaticlensescannotbemadewithfocallengthsasshortasmagneticlenses.

b.Electrostaticlens

Abasicunderstandingofelectrostaticlensesisimportantfortwomainreasons:i)theelectrongunuseselectrostaticlensactiontoformthe

primarybeamsource,andii)itisquitecommonforachargetodeveloponthenonconductingcontaminationwhichmayaccumulateonphysical

apertures(suchastheobjectiveaperture)andtransformthemintoweakelectrostaticlenseswhichcandistorttheelectronimage.

3)Propertiesofelectrostaticlenses:

a)Anyaxiallysymmetricalelectrostaticfieldhasthepropertiesofalensforraysconfinedtotheparaxialregion.Alltheideallensformulasapply

toelectrostaticlenses.

b)Forelectronlenses,replaceÃ(f)forrefractiveindexinthelensequations(f=valueofthepotentialontheaxis).Intheimageformingsystem

ofmostTEMs,fisthesameonbothsidesofthelens(SeeSec.I.A.5.c).

c)Ifboundedbyregionswherefisconstant,anelectrostaticlensisalwaysconvergent.

c.Magneticfieldsandmagneticlenses

1)Magneticfield

Anelectriccurrentpassingthroughaconductorgivesrisetoamagneticfield.TheconventionisthatNisthedirectioninwhichthelinesofthe

magneticfieldpoint(Fig.I.40).Themagneticfluxisthetotalnumberoflinesandthefluxdensityisthenumberoflinesperunitareaofasurface.

UsetheRIGHThandruletodeterminethedirectionofthefield(thumbpointstowardcurrentdirectionandfingerscurlindirectionoffield.NOTE:

Byconvention,thedirectionofelectronflowisoppositetothatofcurrentflow.

Fluxdensitydependsonthepropertiesofthematerialsurroundingtheconductor.Ironinducesahigherfluxdensitythanairoravacuum.The

propertyofthematerialwhichaffectsthefluxdensityiscalledthepermeability,m,ofthematerial.Forairandvacuum,m=1.0.For

ferromagneticmaterialsitcanbeaslargeasseveralhundredthousand.

Iftheconductorhastheshapeofacircularloop,thelinesofforceformcirclesaroundtheloop.Thefluxdensityisgreatestatthecenterofthe

loop.Themagnetinthecenteroftheloopisorientedperpendiculartotheplaneoftheloopifthecurrentthroughtheloopissufficientlystrongto

eliminatetheinfluenceoftheearth'sfield.ThesideoftheloopatwhichthelinesofforceleavetheloopistheNorth(N)poleofthemagnet(Figs.

I.41,I.42).

Ifthewireiswoundinseveralturnsaroundacylindricalsurface(solenoid),eachturnwillcontributetotheinducedmagneticfield.Theflux

densityinthecenterofthecoilisgivenby:



Inthecaseofairandnonmagneticmaterials,µ=1.0andB=H.

Thepermeabilityofirondependsonthefieldstrength,H,anddecreasestounityathighfieldstrengthorwhenthefluxdensity,B=H(Fig.I.43).

Thehighpermeabilityofironisduetotheinducedmagneticfieldorientingmicroscopiccrystalregionsactingastinymagnetsintheiron.Allthese

tinymagnetsaddtheirmagneticfieldstotheinducedfield(Fig.I.44).Whenallmicromagnetsarenearlyoriented,theironwillaffecttheflux

densitytoadecreasingamountsincethereorientationofmicromagnetsisnearingcompletion.Thus,thepermeabilityofironathighfieldstrengths

approachesthatofemptyspace.Atthispointtheironreachesmagneticsaturation.

2)Hysteresis

Thestrengthofthelensdependstosomeextentonthepreviousmagnetichistoryof

thelens.Whenthecurrentinalensisreduced,thedecreaseinmagnetizationdoes

notretracethesamepathobtainedwhenthecurrentwasincreased(Fig.I.45).

Inductionofmagnetizationinvolvesaphysicalmovementwithinthemagnetized

material,requiringtheovercomeofacertaindegreeofinertia.Asaresult,

magnetizationtendstolagbehindthemagnetizingforceapplied.Inducedmagnetic

fluxcanonlybereturnedtozerobyapplicationofacurrentintheoppositedirection.

Aconsequenceofhysteresisisthatthelevelofcurrentusedtoenergizeamagnetic

lensDOESNOTpreciselyspecifythelensstrength(i.e.focallength).

NormalizationofTEMlensesisaccomplishedbyreducingthelenscurrenttozero

somepredeterminednumberoftimes.Hysteresismayalsobeminimizedbytakinga

lenstosaturationandthenreturningittotheworkingcurrentwithoutovershooting.

Whenthefieldstrengthisreducedtozero,somemagnetizationstillremainsintheiron

(residualmagnetizationorremanence).Anadvantageofsoftironisthefactthat,

whenusedinanelectromagnet,hysteresisislow.

Introductionofpiecesofironinamagneticfielddrasticallyaffectsthefluxdensity.

Magneticmaterialhasashieldingeffect,theeffectbeinggreaterthegreaterthe

permeability.Permalloy(mmetal)hasamaximumpermeabilityof80,000140,000

comparedtoironusedintransformers(~7000).mmetalpermeabilityislimitedtolower

fieldstrengthsthanthatatwhichironstillretainshighpermeability.Thismetalis

thereforeusefulforshieldingtheTEMfromexternalmagneticfields.

d.Theelectromagneticlens

1)Lensdesigndevelopment(Figs.I.46I.48)

Theefficiencyofthemagneticfieldproducedbyashortsolenoidwasfirstimproved

byencasingtheenergizingcoilinasheathofsoftironwhichhasthepropertyofconcentratingthelinesofforceinamagneticfieldandthus

becomingmagnetizedbyinduction.Inthiswayamuchmorepowerfulaxialmagneticfieldisobtainedforthesameamountofcurrentflowing

throughthesolenoid.Furtherdevelopmentinvolvedencasingtheentirecoilwithsoftironexceptatanarrowannulargapintheinsideofthecoil.

Thisproducesagreaterconcentrationofthemagneticfieldalongashortaxialdistance.Toachieveshorterfocallengthlenses(andobtaingreater

magnifications)asoftironpolepiecewithanopenaxialborewasintroducedatthepositionoftheannulargap.

MagneticlensesusedinTEMsarealwaysconstructedwithanironcircuittoproduceahighfieldstrengthacrossashortgap.Themagneticfields

forTEMlensesareintherangeof10,00020,000gauss.

2)Forcesactingonacurrentinamagneticfield

Theforceonanelectroninamagneticfieldisalwaysatrightanglestothevelocityandthedirectionofthefield(Figs.I.49,I.50,andI.52).The

fieldonlyactsonthevelocitycomponentwhichisdirectedperpendiculartothelinesofforce.Usethelefthandrule(Fig.I.51:firstfingerfor

fielddirection,middlefingerforcurrentdirection,andthumbfordirectionofforce).Rayspassingthroughthelensareturnedthroughanangle

whichdoesNOTdependonthedistanceoftheraysfromtheaxis.Allelectronscontainedinagivenmeridionalplanebeforeenteringthefieldare

containedinarotatingmeridionalplaneastheypassthroughthelens,andthentheyleavethelenscoplanar.

Whenelectronsenterthelenstheyencounterasidewaysforcewhichcausestheelectrontorotate

asitcontinuesthroughthelens(Figs.I.53I.57).Sincetheradialcomponentofthemagneticfield

reversesafterthecenterofthelens,therotationalvelocitysetupinthefirsthalfofthelensis

countered.Theelectronenteredthelenswithoutangularmomentumabouttheaxisandleaves

withoutangularmomentum.Theneteffectisadeflectiontowardtheaxis,whichitmustcrossatthe

focalpointf

.Theanglebetweentheobjectvectorandtheimagevectoris180°+q,whereas,for

glasslensesandelectrostaticlenses,theanglebetweenarealobjectandtheimageisexactly180°.

Sincetheradialforceisdirectedtowardtheaxis,thelensisconvergentnomatterwhatthedirection

ofthefield.

3)Propertiesofamagneticlens:

Anyaxiallysymmetricmagneticfieldhasthepropertiesofanideallens.Alltheformulasfortheideallensmaybeapplied.

Magneticlensesarealwaysconvergent.Theconventional,axiallysymmetriclensisalwaysboundedbyregionswhicharefieldfree,the

consequencebeingthatthenetactionofelectronlensesisinevitablyconvergent.Limitedregionsmaybedivergentbutnotthelensasawhole.

Theseriousconsequenceofthisisthatneithersphericalorchromaticaberrationscanbecorrectedasisdoneinlightopticsbytheusedoublets

ofpositiveandnegativelenses.

Intheabsenceofelectrostaticfields,therefractiveindexisthesameinobjectandimagespace,thereforef

=f

.

Electronstravelingthroughaxiallysymmetricfieldsexperienceaspiraltrajectoryofdiminishingradius.Theimagevectorisatanangle180°+qto

theobjectvector.

Thedeflectionoftheelectrontowardstheaxismeansthatanelectronenteringthelensparalleltoitsaxiswillcrosstheaxisafterhavingpassed

thelens.Thedeflectionwillincreasewiththedistancefromtheaxis.Thus,abeamofelectronsinparallelpathsparalleltotheaxisofthelenswill

befocusedtoanimagepointontheaxiswhichrepresentsthesecond(back)focalpointofthelens(f

).Notethatmagneticlensesarehighly

inefficientinthatonlyaminorportionofthetotalfieldstrengthisactuallyeffectiveinfocusingtheelectron.

4)Magneticlensfocallength

Inamagneticelectronlensthefocallengthisdeterminedbythefieldstrengthinthelensgapandbythespeedoftheelectrons(determinedby

theacceleratingvoltage).



Formagneticlenses,focusingisachievedbyvaryingthecurrentwhichpassesthroughtheelectromagnet.Thisinturnchangesthestrengthof

themagneticfieldandtherebyaltersthefocallengthofthelensandisequivalenttoacombinedchangeinboththe"refractiveindex"and

"curvatureofsurface".Forabeamofmoreenergeticelectrons,thelenscurrenthastobeincreasedinordertokeepthefocallengthconstant.

FocallengthandcurrentareNOTlinearlyrelated:strengthincreasesinasigmoidfashion(Fig.I.45)ascurrentincreasesuntilapointisreached

wherethelensissaturatedandnofurtherincreaseinlensstrengthcanbeachieved.

Sincethefocallengthofthelensisdirectlyproportionaltotheacceleratingvoltage,avariationinthevelocityoftheelectronsintheimaging

beamaffectsimagequalitybyeliminatingperfectfocus(chromaticaberration).

5)Magneticlensdesign:(Figs.I.46,I.47).

Condenserlensesusuallyhavearelativelylargeboreandspacingwhichresultsinalongfieldandlongfocallength.

Typicalconstructionoftheobjectivelensproducesastrongfieldofshortaxialextent(i.e.shortfocallengthbetween(1.53mm)necessaryfor

formationofimagesathighmagnification.Thespecimenisplacedwithinthemagneticfieldoftheobjectivelens.Thus,anyfieldintroducedby

contaminantsinthespecimencandistortthefieldofthelens.Notethatthisalsomeansthatpartofthelensfield("prefield")isonthefrontside

oftheobjectandaffectstheelectronbeambeforeitpassesthroughtheobject.

Mostofatypicalmagneticlensliesoutsidethevacuumofthemicroscope.Onlythoseregionsthroughwhichtheelectronbeampassesareinhigh

vacuum.Magneticlensesmustbewatercooledtodissipatethelargeamountsofheatproducedbythecurrentsintheelectromagnetcoils.
