I'm wondering can electrons travel through quartz at any great distance.
I'm assuming since quartz is an insulator they will not be able travel any apreciable distance within the material.
Say if we got some extremely high energy electrons and fired them at a quartz slide, would any of them penetrate the slide.
My gut feeling is no, unless you're dealing with rediculously high energy electrons or a very thin plate of quartz.
Any thoughts?
