An angle-resolving electron spectrometer has been developed for use wi
th an ultra high vacuum scanning electron microscope. A large cylindri
cal mirror analyser has been equipped with a parallel detection system
for simultaneous recording of electron energy spectra and angle-resol
ved images. Two different models have been developed to simulate the s
pectrometer. Angle-resolved images and energy spectra of different ele
ctron emission functions can be simulated. The angle-resolved images f
rom amorphous samples were used to check the two simulation models and
the performance of the spectrometer. Some initial results of applying
the spectrometer on Ag/Ge(111) and Ag/alpha-Ge are discussed.
