This is the first in a series of articles that serve to identify what scanning Cathodoluminescence can offer the materials technologist. Whilst begining with Electronic Materials. Geological,Ceramic and Diamond applications will be covered over the next installments concluding with a reveiw of instrumentation needed to perform the studies covered in the final chapter.

Cathodoluminescence (CL) is the most important optical phenomenon used by all electron microscopists. It is the process by which electrons are converted into light in the Everhart Thornley secondary electron detector and also in the screens and cameras of TEMs.
