A new method has been developed to drastically increase the sensitivity of the low-energy electron energy loss spectroscopy. This method uses a pulse counting technique to detect a small number of analysed electrons and a difference formula to obtain the second-derivative spectrum. A personal-computer-controlled system has been developed for this purpose and the usefulness of the present method is demonstrated.
