Abstract

An interferometer of the amplitude-splitting type has been constructed which operates with electron beams and produces a system of fringes in the viewing instrument. The appearance of the fringes may be varied at will by introducing changes in one of the (electron) optical paths. The instrument utilizes crystalline diffraction for beam splitting and recombining.
