The heating effect of an incident electron beam may cause a material to be radiation-sensitive. For example, the adsorption behaviour of inert gases on graphite observed in a transmission electron microscope depends critically on the temperature of the substrate. Early consideration of beam heating dealt with a circular film illuminated at the centre by an electron beam of circular cross-section. In practice, however, the film is often supported across a square aperture and is not centrally illuminated. It has recently been shown that the method of images may be used to solve the problem of the heating of a square film of thermal conductivity k by a beam whose cross-section is entirely within the film. This solution has the advantage that it applies regardless of where the incident electron beam strikes the film. The general solution involves an infinite sum over a two dimensional lattice of heat sources and sinks. Though the sum is readily evaluated by means of a computer, it is helpful to consider a particular limiting case which is readily understood in terms of three images and the main beam. This case is illustrated in Figure 1.

Experimental results are given for the measurements of the absolute intensity of characteristic Ka radiation from a thick copper target when the normal to the target is inclined to the incident electron beam at an angle (I equal to 20�, 30�, 40�, and 50�. These measurements cover a range of electron energies between 20 and 50 kV, and take�off angles q, ranging from 1� to 50�. A comparison is made with the emission at normal incidence. The copper Ka radiation was isolated by means of balanced nickel and iron filters, and the intensity mllasurements were made with a scintillation counter with NaI(TI) crystal

Lorentz electron microscopy has been used to study magnetic domain/domain wall structures in thin films since 1959. Initially the contrast was described in terms of the classical Lorentz deflection of the incident electron beam. As a result Lorentz microscopy has become the general designation given to any of the techniques used to study the magnetic structure with electron beams. However, when sufficiently weak interactions are considered, a more rigorous quantum-mechanical description of the electron-specimen is required. It thus becomes necessary to consider the basis of magnetic imaging as following from the interaction between the magnetic vector potential of the specimen and the incident electron beam. This interaction results in a phase change of the propagating electron beam which is proportional to the path integral of the vector potential. Thus Lorentz microscopy, in reality, is simply phase contrast microscopy for a special class of objects.For many of the magnetic thin films investigated the coercivity of the film is so low that it must be in a nearly zero field environment in order to retain the domain structure. In order to achieve this condition experimentally, the objective lens is usually turned off and the diffraction lens is used as the image forming lens.
