Photoelectron emission from aluminum or epoxy-painted aluminum can be used to reveal presence and concentration of surface contaminants. Emission can be used to locate those parts of surface that are excessively contaminated and to which coatings cannot be reliably bonded. Cleaning can then be done on areas that most need it. Probe moves at rate of typically 1 ft/s (30 cm/s), speed slow enough to ensure sensitivity but fast enough to keep scanning time within reasonable limit.
