ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

Lbochtler: updated Super-III and Super Mini-SEM I

[[File:ISI-Logo-Recreation.png|thumb|Recreation of the ISI Logo]]
ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

Lbochtler: added super mini-sem I and II

[[File:ISI-Logo-Recreation.png|thumb|Recreation of the ISI Logo]]
ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

Lbochtler: added the correct link for the brochure of the MSM-2 after upload

[[File:ISI-Logo-Recreation.png|thumb|Recreation of the ISI Logo]]
ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

Lbochtler: added MSM-2

[[File:ISI-Logo-Recreation.png|thumb|Recreation of the ISI Logo]]
ISI (international Scientific Instruments) was founded in 1972 and was a reseller of [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]s from the united states, who resold machines built by [[Akashi-Seisakusho, Ltd]] of Tokyo Japan. Their headquarters was located in Santa Clara California, United States of Amerika.

The involvement of ISI in the design of machines by Akashi is unknown to the museum at time of writing. It is likely they influenced the designs Akashi created.

[[File:Elmiskop1-Front-Brochure.jpg|thumb|The Siemens [[Elmiskop 1]] Transmission Electron Microscope]]
The Electron Microscope as invented by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Ruska Ernst Ruska] and later refined and diversified by other, is a Microscope which unlike the [[Light Microscope]] uses High speed Electrons for the creation of images by various means.

The Electron Microscope can be divided into several Sub Categories
* [[Transmission Electron Microscope]]
* [[Reflection Electron Microscope]]
* [[Scanning Electron Microscope]]
* [[Emission Electron Microscope]]

Each of these principles has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. For further information see the related pages.

== History ==
----
The Electron Microscope was invented in 1934 by German Physascist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Ruska Ernst Ruska] while working for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens Siemens Corperation]. It evolved from Ruskas findings that a aperture can be magnified by menas of a rotationally symetrical magnetic field, while studying and desining Electron Beam Oscillographs. With the help of Engineer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Knoll Max Knoll]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_von_Borries Bodo von Borries]], the observation quickly resulted in a functioning proof of concept aperatus which can be considered the forefather of all electron microscope. All though crude at the time, this apperatus proved the princple discovered by Ruska to be exploitable for the creation of a Microscope.

The apperatus was later Refined numerous times, leading ultimatly to the creation of the [Siemens Elektronen Mikroskop]. This unit was later refined, fallowing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II World War II] into the [ÜM100] Microscope.
Simultaniously to the development at Siemens, the German Company [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG AEG] with subsequent help from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss_AG Carl Zeiss], under the leadership of [Otto Rang] and [Hans Schluge], another first generation Microscope was developed. This Microscope subsequently evolved into the AEG Zeiss [EM8]. Unlike the Siemens counterpart, this unit opperated purely by means of the [Electrostatic Lens], where as Ruskas Microscope was based exclusivly on the [Electromagnetic Lens].

Some time latter, the United Kingdom and the American Continent started the development of Electron Microscopes of their own. The British contribution to the world of Electron Microscopy was first started by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan-Vickers Metropolitan-Vickers] Corperation, under the leadership of <insert name here>, which created Britains first Electron Microscope, the [EM2].

Meanwhile on the American Continent, the Canadian Scientist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hillier James Hillier] worked on creating a Microscope of their own, his work was later incorperated into the [RCA] Line of Electron Microscopes.

Some what later the USSR, based on documentation and equipment looted after the conclusion of World War II, begun the development of their own Microscopes. Not much is known about these early Microscopes, but two models have been reported in the <insert name of paper here>. There the <insert first russian microscope here> and <insert Second Microscope here> where discussed. Later Electron Microscope development was moved to what is now the Czchek Republic under the name [Tesla].

Japan also started deveolping Electron Microscopes, two major Companies stood out, [[JEOL]] and [[Hitachi]], which still to this day, produce Electron Microscopes of the highest Quality. Hitachi Pioneered the use of the [Cold Field Emmision Cathode], first seen in their <inser name of first FESEM here>.

== Types ==
----
=== Transmission Electron Microscope ===
The [[Transmission Electron Microscope]] was the first type of Electron Microscope invented. Its operating principle is analegous to that of the [[Compound Light Microscope]] but (usually) in a invetered fashion, relative to their Light Optical Bretheren. The source of Illumination here, is a [[Cathode]] located within the [[Electron Gun]]. The resulting stream of Electrons is demagnified and or Re-Focused onto the Sample. The transmitted Electrons are then focused by the Objective lens, and the subsequent real images Magnified by the intermediate and or Projector Lens. The final highly magnified image is then projected onto a Scintilating material or [[Phosphor]] which converts the Electrons into Photons.

Images may be obtained by either directly immaging the Electrons via [[Electron Sensetive Film]], a second fine grane Screen coupled to a Digital or Analog Camera, or alternativly by means of a Externally mounted Camera focused onto either the Focusing Screen, or Viewing Screen via either the Primary or Secondary Viewport.

== Subtypes ==
=== Classic TEM ===
=== High Resolution Electron Microscope (HR-EM) ===
=== High Voltage Electron Microscope (HV-EM) ===
300kV to 1000kV
=== Ultra-High Voltage electron Microscope (UHV-EM) ===
>1000kV
=== Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) ===
=== Scanning Confocal Electron Microscope ===
=== Superconducting Electron Microscope ===
=== Energy Filtered Electron Microscope (EFTEM) ===
=== Electron Holography ===
=== Phase Contrast Electron Microscope ===
=== Cryo Electron Microscope ===
=== Electron Ptychography ===
=== Electron Diffractometer ===

== Reflection Electron Microscope ==
The [[Reflection Electron Microscope]] is a seldom seen variant of the Electron Microscope, which unlike the [[Transmission Electron Microscope]] uses the electrons which the subject under observation reflected in the general direction of the Objective Lens. These electrons are either Inelastically or Elastically Scattered by the Atoms composing the subject.

The general beam path is identical to that of the Transmission Electron Microscope, with the only difference beeing a steep angle between the electron source, Subject and Objetive. Some Transmission Electron Microscopes offer the ability to do Reflection Electron Microscopy all be it at shallow angles, when compared to purpose built machines.

The REM (Reflection Electron Microscope) was the first methode for studiying the native surface of objects at magnifications and Depth of Fields unatanable by classical Light Optical means. The resolution proved to be limmited by the very broud energy spread of the Reflected Electrons. This leads to very a dramatic loss in resolution due to Chromatic Abboration present in all simple [[Electron Lenses]].

== Scanning Electron Microscope ==
The [[Scanning Electron Microscope]] was first invented by german Physicist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_von_Ardenne Manfred Baron von Ardenne] around 1940. Unlike the two previously discussed types, this Microscope relies not on the focusing of a compleate image onto a [[View Screen]], but rather by means of a sharply focused Electron Probe which is moved accross the Subject.

Various interactions with the Subject can be used for the creation of images, examples include among others, [[Secondary Electron Imaging]], [[Backscatter Electron Imaging]] and Transmitted Electrons. Due to the nature of their image formation, their ultimate resolution is somewhat less then that of the [[Transmission Electron Microscope]].

== Emission Election Microscope ==
This [[Emission Electron Microscope]] represents a somewhat obscure form of the Electron Microscope. It uses the same basic imaging train as the [[Transmission Electron Microscope]], but rather then bombarding the Subject with Electrons generated in an [[Electron Gun]], the subject its self is made to give off electrons.

The simplest form of the EEM is the experiment of projecting an image of the Electron Source of either a TEM or a Cathode Ray Tube onto a view Screen or Phosphor. Image contrast is formed by the variation Emmision density of the subject.

Samples may be made to release electrions, which must be further accelerated by a ||Electron Gun]] or a [[Linear Accelerator]] prior to entering the Objective Lens (if prsent), by means of Heat, Ion Bombardment, Electron Bombardment, or Light Bombardment (such as high energy UV Light).

= Electron Beam Lithography Machines =
Cambridge built a few Electron Beam Lithography machines based on the Stereoscan S4-10, not much more is currently known about them by the museum, more information is needed. The first currently known system at the moment, is the Stereoscan Electron Beam Microfabrication System, wich was capable of making masks down to 100nm line width, and operated from what appears to be a PDP 11/20 mini computer.

= Electron Beam Lithography Machines =
Cambridge built a few Electron Beam Lithography machines based on the Stereoscan S4-10, not much more is currently known about them by the museum, more information is needed. The first currently known system at the moment, is the Stereoscan Electron Beam Microfabrication System, wich was capable of making masks down to 100nm line width, and operated from what appears to be a PDP 11/20 mini computer.

= Electron Beam Lithography Machines =
Cambridge built a few Electron Beam Lithography machines based on the Stereoscan S4-10, not much more is currently known about them by the museum, more information is needed. The first currently known system at the moment, is the Stereoscan Electron Beam Microfabrication System, wich was capable of making masks down to 100nm line width, and operated from what appears to be a PDP 11/20 mini computer.

The first currently known system at the moment, is the Stereoscan Electron Beam Microfabrication System, wich was capable of making masks down to 100nm line width, and operated from what appears to be a PDP 11/20 mini computer.

= Electron Beam Lithography Machines =
Cambridge built a few Electron Beam Lithography machines based on the Stereoscan S4-10, not much more is currently known about them by the museum, more information is needed. The first currently known system at the moment, is the Stereoscan Electron Beam Microfabrication System, wich was capable of making masks down to 100nm line width, and operated from what appears to be a PDP 11/20 mini computer.

= Electron Beam Lithography Machines =
Cambridge built a few Electron Beam Lithography machines based on the Stereoscan S4-10, not much more is currently known about them by the museum, more information is needed. The first currently known system at the moment, is the Stereoscan Electron Beam Microfabrication System, wich was capable of making masks down to 100nm line width, and operated from what appears to be a PDP 11/20 mini computer.

AEI EM-7

2026-04-21T12:00:39Z

Lbochtler: added column cross section

Not to be confused with the [[EM-7 | AEG Zeiss EM-7]] Electron Microscope from the 40's

[[File:AEI - EM7 - Goringe.png|thumb|Overview of the main Superstructure]]

The AEI EM-7 represents the largest [[Electron Microscope]] thus far constructed on the British Isles. A total of around 40 Units where produced. At the time, it represented on of the most powerful, if not the most powerful comercial Electron Microscope avalible at the time. The EM7 first appeared around 1970. The wearabouts of the 40 units is, but for one, unknown.

[[File:Em7-Accelerator.jpg|thumb|The Exposed Accelerator]]
[[File:AEI EM7 1970 poster cellphone picture.png|thumb|Cross Section of the Electron Optical Column of the EM7]]
[[File:EM-7-Accelerator-Drawing-smol.jpg|thumb|left|Technical drawing of the Accelerator]]
== Description ==
The EM7 consists of 2 large Gas Insulated, Water Cooled (originally) High Voltage tanks. These are the High Voltage Cocraft Walton Multiplayer and Feed Transformer, the other the 24 Stage Accelerator, Electron Gun with its Accumulator Bank (NiMH was used), as well as some of the filtering for the high voltage supply.

The Cathodes where housed in a Turret containing <insert number here> cathodes. Changing these, required the entire High Voltage system be vented to atmosphere, and the accelerator tank opened using the machines Crane. The accelerator stack can be seen in a picture taken at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Physics. To facilitate this cathode change, the entire 1.25MV power supply was rolled away, thus unplugging the feed from the accelerator, and allowing the tank to be lifted.

It is unclear at this time to the author, weather the system used SF6 or Freon insulation gas for its High Voltage system.

The entire Accelerator and High Voltage structure was built onto a metal platform placed above the column and power supply's. This entire structure was in turn placed on the isolated Foundation of the Microscope, located a story lower. The entire machine occupies 4 to 5 stories of a building, owing to the need to move the tank cover, and the need to house the crane to do so.

== Summary ==
JPEG Cellphone picture based scan of the poster showing the cross section of the EM7 column, printed in 1970. The original is presumed destroyed in April 2026, due to various reasons the museum was not able to procure the paper original, and the cellphone picture on which this scan was based on was never intended to be used for a scan, as it was planned to recover the original.

An attempt to recover the paper original are under way at time of this edit.
