Abstract

An apparatus designed to be positioned in the projection chamber of an electron microscope to detect electron images and/or diffraction patterns from a sample and convert those electron images into light images is provided. The apparatus transfers light images to an imaging sensor for recording while enhancing resolution of the light images by absorbing substantially all laterally scattered light before it reaches the imaging sensor.
