A scanning electron microscope (SEM) accelerates electrons to very high speeds and fires those electrons at a sample. By looking at the way that the electrons interact with the sample, we can generate detailed images of objects we can't get with a traditional optical microscope, like mineral crystals or biological cells. To accomplish this goal, an SEM uses an accelerating voltage around 10kV (high voltage generally means better resolution). One such SEM uses an accelerating voltage of 13kV. How fast are the electrons moving after they pass through this accelerating voltage?
