  • Abstract
    In Near Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy the source of the primary beam is only few tens nm away from the target. We report the progress in primary beam generation and compare the performance of the instrument in field emission mode with respect to the well-established Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM).
