History of Electron Microscopy at the Institute of Scientific Instruments
Original language description
The development of the first transmission electron microscope (EM) at the Institute of Scientific Instruments (ISI) was completed in 1951. In 1954 a functional model of a desktop EM (the Tesla BS 242) was built and it won the Gold Medal at EXPO 1958. Over 1000 of these instruments were produced over a period of 20 years and exported to 20 countries. Unique transmission, emission and scanning EMs were developed and built during the 1960s. At the same time, the issues with high voltage sources, vacuum (and subsequently ultrahigh vacuum) and with the analysis of residual gases were resolved. In 1962, the first electron interference experiments in the world were carried out at ISI. Non-conventional forms of EM were also developed in the 1970s, e.g. interference shadow EM, Lorentz and tunneling EM, emission microscopy, as well as low energy electron diffraction [1]. Since 1973 the finite element method has been exploited for the computation of electrostatic and magnetic lenses. The ultrahig
