Generator produces dynamic test signals in the range from 0.0001 and 10 to the minus 12th power amperes. It involves an extension of the technique of applying a triangular voltage waveform to a small capacitor to obtain a square-wave output current. The effects of stray capacitance are minimized by appropriate shielding.
Video display system for a scanning electron microscope provides slow scanning rates, a self-generated color gradient technique, and allows leisurely viewing of several hours. It also enables the viewing of areas where selected energy regions contribute relatively few electrons, and the changing of specimen position and magnification without adjustments.
Vacuum dielectric capacitor is fabricated from materials with very low temperature coefficients of expansion. This precision capacitor in the 1000-2000 picofarad range has a near-zero temperature coefficient of capacitance, eliminates ion chamber action caused by air ionization in the dielectric, and minimizes electromagnetic field charging effects.
