7. Theory of Low vacuum SEM The VP mode enables observation of non-conductive or hydrated samples without the need for sample preparation such as metal coating. Positive ions generated by either, the interaction of the incident electron beam, or the secondary electrons leaving the sample with the gas, act to neutralize the build up of negative charge on the sample surface. The chamber pressure is controlled by a simple slide bar. A patented Real-time Vacuum Feedback (RVF) system permits rapid vacuum stability in the specimen chamber at the user specified pressure setting.
