Charge Compensation
Charge Compensation is also known as Charge Control and Charge Neutralization. The terms Control and Neutralization are not accurate terms to describe the process, so these terms are used less frequently.

FWHM of C (1s) serves as an Indicator of the Quality of Charge Compensation


Example of Poor Charge Compensation and a Solution

Charge Compensation using Low Voltage (0-10 eV) Electron Flood Gun

An Easy Solution to Poor Charge Compensation

Make sure Flood Gun is Properly Aligned using Poly-propylene

Make sure Flood Gun is Properly Aligned using Teflon

After collecting useful Spectra from a Non-Conductive Sample, we must correct for the charge,
aka Charge Reference
