Raster Scan Generator



A raster scan generator uses a 555 timer microchip alongside a transistor, capacitor and resistor circuit in order to produce a linear ramp-up oscillation. This type of oscillation will be used to display the SEM image onto an analog oscilloscope screen.


Breadboard of a 555 timer-based linear ramp circuit. In order to make this variable, a variable resistor will replace one of the fixed resistors.
