Clear TEM imaging of moving specimen
The essential solution of the issue is faster imaging than the thermal drift velocity.
Semiconductor photocathodes have the advantage of faster pulse electron beam than the thermal drift velocity.
Moreover semiconductor photocathode can also generate large current over 1mA.
