Equipment required to to the electron double slit experiment ?

[laudas]

Hi can any point me to a site/paper on how to construct the equipment required for the electron double slit experiment ?

Thanks

You need a source of coherent electrons, which is generally quite expensive and—assuming this is something you want to attempt yourself—out of reach for all but very rich amateurs.

Thanks for coming back, yar expect it might have been,
but was also interested in how it was done in detail.

Lucky you that I read this thread. The DSE is quite easy and cheap to do at home; I've tried it myself - check out my PF blog post about it here: https://www.physicsforums.com/blog.php?b=4096 . EDIT: sorry, did not notice that it was the electron version that was asked for . That's definitely not as easy to do as with photons, but I have some link about it, I'll post it when I've found it...

EDIT: Here it is (or rather, was): http://www.hitachi.com/rd/research/em/doubleslit.html, sadly the link seems to be broken .
