Original Abstract

Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is one of the latest trends in microscopic methods. This type of microscope can works in two modes. In the vacuum mode, it acts as conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the environmental mode, the microscope works at higher pressures in the specimen chamber, which has its advantages. We can observe samples electrically non-conductive and even wet samples without the risk of damage by drying. Scintillation and ionization detectors are used to detect secondary electrons. The ionization detector works on the principle of impact ionization. The scintillation detector contains a scintillator (e.g. YAG, CRY 18, etc.), which releases electrons when they hit a flash of light whose intensity is proportional to the energy of incident electrons. This article deals with analysis of the scintillation detector using CAD, CAE and ANSYS systems and applications with Laval nozzle aperture.

Keywords
