Welcome to the Electron Interaction Volume Calculator

This app provides approximate values for the depth and lateral extent of high-energy electrons (1-30 keV) inside a material, as used in scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). All the calculations are based on the CASINO software developed by Université de Sherbrooke.

Our goal is to facilitate the understanding of electron-matter interaction and, in particular, which parameters are best for measurements when using an SEM. We aim to keep expanding and improving the app depending on the user needs. Please feel free to send any feedback and questions to m.sola@amolf.nl.
