R. Browning Consultants is a small business contractor for the National Institute of
Science and Technology (NIST), at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) Brookhaven
National Laboratory.
Since 2009 R. Browning Consultants has been developing a photoelectron microscope for
imaging advanced engineered materials at the mesoscale. This development effort has
resulted in the creation of a new class of microscope, the vector potential photoelectron
microscope (VPPEM).
Raymond Browning is a NIST Guest Researcher and a member of the NIST Synchrotron
Science Group. He had previously been a director of software engineering at Canon USA,
president and founder of a process control software company (sold to Canon), the CEO of a
CAD software company, and a consulting professor at Stanford University where he worked on
the predecessor microscope to the VPPEM.
He has a D. Phil. in Physics from the University of Sussex, Brighton UK, and a B.Sc. in Physics
from Westfield College, London UK.
He has published approximately 100 journal articles, and book chapters in the fields of surface
science, electron beam/solid interactions, semiconductor lithography, and microscopy. He has
been awarded 7 patents.
