The evolution of a beam over the orbital energy levels is investigated on the basis of the probabilities found for the transfer of electrons along the Landau levels due to their emission in the regions of the anomalous and normal Doppler effects. Emission with spin flip is considered. It is shown th ...

This is because the electron beam does not spread over a wide area instead it is concentrated on a single point on the sample surface! Therefore, the accelerating voltage must not exceed 25 kv. 3. ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
