Method of
work:

 Carefully prepared sample is placed in the chamber. Tightly focused electron beam falls on the surface of the sample from which high energy electrons are reflected and recorded by detectors. They simultaneously amplify the signal displayed as variations of brightness in the cathode ray tube.
