Application of SEs other than in Electron Microscopies

Other than the application of secondary electrons (SEs) in electron microscopies, SE  emission is also used in many electrical vacuum devices for amplifying electron currents (photoelectric multipliers, image amplifiers, and so on) and for recording information in the form of potential relief on the surface of the dielectric (electron-beam instruments).
