What does electron cross section represent?

An electron cross section quantifies the effective area that defines the likelihood of interactions between electrons and target particles.

Why convert electron cross sections to square micrometers?

Converting to square micrometers helps relate electron interaction probabilities to physical areas measurable in microscopy and materials science.

Can this conversion be used for all electron energies?

Since electron cross sections vary with electron energy and target properties, caution is needed when applying the conversion across different conditions.
