probe diameter

The diameter of the incident electron beam on the specimen. The minimum probe size (diameter) at present is ~0.2 nm for the field-emission electron gun, whereas ~1 nm for the LaB6 thermionic-emission electron gun. When a Cs corrector is used, the probe diameter less than 0.1 nm is achieved.
