Mephisto: A Novel Synchrotron Imaging Photoelectron Spectromicroscope
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 July 2020
Extract
We discuss the scheme and test performances of the recently commissioned MEPHISTO system in its final configuration. The tests show that the improvements in the electron optics system with respect to other instruments in the same class made it possible to reach lateral resolutions in the 50 nm range. They also demonstrate rather good spectromicroscopy and spectroscopy performances, reliability and flexibility of operation.
This instrument belongs to the class of the electron-imaging systems, like the PEEM (PhotoElectron Emission Microscope) [1] and the X-PEEM (X-ray PhotoElectron Emission Microscope) Microscope [2-5], Our new instrument, called MEPHISTO from the French acronym “Microscope a Emission de Photo électrons par Illumination Synchrotronique de type Onduleur” (Photoelectron Emission Microscope by Synchrotron Undulator Illumination) shares the good characteristics of the instruments of its class: real-time chemical imaging, fast taking of local x-ray absorption spectra, high spatial resolution, large dynamic range, flexibility and user-friendliness.
