... the thermionic projection microscope [is] used for measuring the work functions of separate crystal planes. Electrons emitted from the planes are collected on a phosphor screen, and a video camera is used to produce a digitized image of the intensity pattern. Numerical calculations yield the work function associated with each plane. 2, record 1, English, - thermionic%20projection%20microscope
