摘要: Abstract The image force for fast (80 kV) electrons has been observed using the small electron microprobe available in a scanning transmission microscope, and imaging surface plasmon losses. Preliminary results field at grazing incidence to an MgO qualitatively agree with classical theory. long range decay is found be exponential.
