Title: Cathodoluminescence-activated nanoscale imaging

Abstract

Provided herein are non-invasive methods of nanoscale imaging of a sample using an illumination layer and an electron beam. For example, the electron may activate the illumination layer without activating the sample, and the illumination layer may emit cathodoluminescence to produce a nanoscale image of the sample.
