Direct Cinemicrography with the Electron Microscope

Dynamic study of chemical and physical reactions by use of the electron microscope is particularly valuable when combined with cinemicrography, using techniques such as time-lapse photography and continuous magnification changes. Direct use of the imaging electron beam for photographic exposure gives maximum photographic quality, but presents problems of slow speeds of emulsions to electrons, outgassing and embrittlement of film in the microscope vacuum, and static discharge fogging. Several types of 16mm films have been evaluated in microscopy experiments. Techniques for effective ciné recording have been used with special electron microscopy reaction methods for application to nuclear fuel ceramics.
