Abstract

Femtosecond electron microscopy produces real-space images of matter in a series ofultrafast snapshots. Pulses of electrons self-disperse under space-charge broadening,so without compression, the ideal operation mode is a single electron per pulse. Here,we demonstrate femtosecond single-electron poi...
