Surface Electron Microscopy





Spin-polarized low energy electron microscope Spin-polarized low energy electron microscope (SPLEEM) provides precise surface imaging by illuminating a sample with spin-polarized low energy electron beams. Dynamical imaging with SPLEEM (magnetic contrast), LEEM (diffraction and interference contrast, etc.), and LEED (diffraction pattern from a selected area) mode and 3D analysis of magnetization direction are capable.
