(a) Schematic of a typical CL setup consisting of a parabolic mirror with an aperture. (b) High resolution scans of a metal nanorod imaged with a CL setup. The top image shows the topography, and the bottom image depicts the density of states excited by the fast electrons incident on the metal nanostructure. CL imaging provides correlated topography and plasmonic local density of states excited by the electrons, scanned with high precision.
