Assumptions
l. The collision occurs between the photon and an electron in the scattering
material.
2. The electron is free and is at rest before collision with the incident photon.
With these assunlptions let us consider a photon of energy 'ftv' colliding
Y
with an electron at rest.
During the collision process, a part
of energy is given to the electron, which
'intum increases the kinetic energy of the
electron and hence it recoils at an angle E -hr, ,p -h v/c

over a smail solid angle oh tn" e"5it from the

gun.

The electrons coming out of the electron gun are focussed by


a set of condenser 'lenses to pr

the desired illumination of the specimen.

,specimen holder
The specimen is held in a special holder'

The specimen is introduced through an air lock,


---a
because the interior of the microscope must be
highty evacuatecl. The holder is fltted to a stage -S
which can be moved or tilted so that the
specimen can be studied at different orientations'
Magnetic elect on lens
The specimen is usually surrounded by a cooled
