Color contrast in scanning electron microscopy

Colour encoding of video signals in SEM

“…The technique of colour encoding of images has been more and more extensively used for various practical purposes in scanning electron microscopy (Boyde 1974, Spivak et a]. 1974, Swift and Brown 1975, De-Nee and Frederickson 1978, Horl and Buschbeck 1975.…”

The investigation of cathodoluminescence (CL) in CdS after ion bombardment in the scanning electron microscope (SEM)

“…The connection between the distribution of point defects on the surface of CdS and peculiarities of the surface relief formed undei ion bombardment have been investigated in the SEM "STEREOSCAN" with low temperature accessory for colour (CL (CCL)) analysis (1). Different planes of single crystals, such a s ( O O O l ) , (OOOi), and (llzO), have been subjected to the bombardment of A r ions with energies of 0 .…”

“…In scattering on all CdS planes under investigation the formation of cones (Fig. 1) has been observed (2), their shape and density being dependent upon the current density on the target, the exposition time, the energy of the bombarding ions, the angle of incidence on the target and crystallographic orientation of the plane. CCL analysis has shown that all cones have different luminescent properties.…”
