2. Applications of Auger spectromicroscopy
It is reasonable to assume that, with the help of ultra-high vacuum technology, surface science was born from the implementation of slow electron diffraction and Auger spectroscopy techniques in a single instrument. Indeed, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, using the instrument shown in [ ] (Figure 7 a), it was possible to simultaneously obtain the surface crystallography (regular distribution of atoms on the faces of a single crystal) and the basic chemical nature of the foreign species that could be deposited there either as a result of heat treatment...

Manufacturers, builders
(non-exhaustive list)
There are a significant number of accessory manufacturers (electron and ion guns, analyzers, UV chambers, etc.) that are not mentioned here. The same applies to companies supplying ESCA, mixed ESCA-Auger, or LEED-Auger (and not specifically Auger-SAM) spectroscopy equipment. The following list is therefore not exhaustive.
