Popis: Superconducting cryo-electron microscope (SCM) has been mainly applied to the biological field, due to the advantages such as reduction of radiation damage and the possibility of a perfectly contamination-free environment. From the material science view point, microstructural characterization at liquid helium temperature is an attractive technique. In this presentation, some topics concerning the low temperature physics of ceramics will be discussed on the basis of the data obtained using high resolution SCM.The principle of the superconducting lens (SCL) was first described by the Dietrich Group of Siemens AG, West Germany in 1966, following this by fitting a SCL as the objective lens of a 200kV electron microscope, a new type of electron microscope, the JEM-2000SCM, was developed by JEOL LTD, Japan. A detailed cross-sectional diagram of the SCL is shown in Fig.1. A spherical aberration coefficient of 1.2mm was obtained.
