Figure 2593 shows the ZLPs (zero-loss peaks) of a CFEG (cold field emission gun) [1] at various emission currents as well as the monochromatized ZLP [2] in logarithmic vertical scale. The inset lists the extraction voltages V1, probe currents Ip and the FWHMs (full width at half maximum) of the ZLPs. Note that the FWHMs quantify the energy spread. In general, the lower extraction voltage and probe current gives smaller FWHMs of the ZLPs, meaning that the higher energy resolution can be obtained, while the one with a monochromator still has the lowest FWHM.
