= Acceleration voltage
{wiki=Acceleration_voltage}
Acceleration voltage, often referred to as "accelerating voltage," is a term used primarily in the context of particle physics, electron microscopy, and other fields involving charged particles. It represents the voltage applied to accelerate charged particles, such as electrons, through an electric field. In practical terms: 1. **Electron Microscopy**: In electron microscopes, an acceleration voltage is applied to accelerate electrons before they impact a specimen.
