This was a great lecture! I have been wanting to learn more about the EM scope for quite some time now, and this really helped. I am excited to watch the rest of your RUclips lectures.

You are right in questioning the horizontal lines being called the field lines. They should appropriately be called equipotential surfaces. The field lines are perpendicular to the equipotential surfaces and so will be vertical as you have rightly pointed out.
Can someone explain why the electric field lines in the accelerator stack are perpendicular to the path of the beam? I would have thought that the electric field lines should point in the direction of decreasing potential, from 0 V to - 270kV, anti-parallel to the path of the beam. Also, if the electric field lines are perpendicular to the path of the beam, why is the electron beam not deflected, as it would be experiencing a force perpendicular to its velocity?

Are y'all REAL fans? this is the material he presents to lab members to teach em, formalized in a video format for public consumption. Real fans watch the intro video smh
I smoked some weed and wanted to listen to some electronic music, now i am stuck here.
The cap with the lowest voltage is called "Wehnelt cylinder", in case you were wondering how it's spelled.
Thanks a lot!
I operate TEM and believe me this is one of the best lecture on TEM with indepth insights... Thank you sir for such videos
The top most "box" does not contain the filament.
The filament resides just below that box, which is an IGP (a vacuum pump).
New grad student trying to prepare myself for a cryo-EM project. This was so helpful! Thank you!

This is definitely NOT a generic electron gun.
perfect toefl listening tests
Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial...
What is the advantage of the accelerator stack over a single anode? Is it just to focus the beam better and increase temporal coherence?
To accelerate the velocity of electrons
The best interpretation

Great video
Electric field line should be vertical not horizontal. F=qE, the force applied on electron is the same direction of electric field direction
That's what I was thinking...

thank you so much you did a great job dud !
What's amazing
Similar thing called pentode in another field
300kV "a very low voltage"
negative

Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) crystals
Is it possible to change the beam wavelength in electron microscopy for solving the Anamolos structures?
6:06 should be 0.02 angstrom for 2 picoM
well, he just said so - two hundredths :)
300kv negative is a is not a low voltage
It's a high negative number, which is why it's "very low" (because it's so much below zero).
Cant even
i guess u meant equipotential lines instead of field lines at ~5:10?
yes, I think he made a mistake by accvident.
Thank you, I was confused by his statement. Your suggestion makes much more sense.
That would make a lot of sense
You are right. They should appropriately be called equipotential surfaces.
is there a part 2 for this?
Viktor grebenikov used this principle to fly
Awesome tutorial
Is this what they are teaching at Cal- Tech?
Yes, that's why there's a teacher lecturing on the topic at caltech
