We developed a 1 MV field-emission transmission electron microscope. This p
aper reports details and specifications of the instrument. The microscope w
as designed to obtain a bright and coherent electron beam by using the fiel
d emission gun equipped with a pre-accelerating magnetic lens and the high
voltage power supply with high stability (0.5 ppm min(-1)). Using this micr
oscope, the brightness of 1.8x10(10) A cm(-2) sr(-1) and the lattice resolu
tion of 49.8 pm were attained.
