The probing depth of photoelectron emission microscopy has been determined for photon excitation energies of 5 eV. For Ag overlayers deposited on Fe, it is found that the probing depth is extremely large, i.e. 16.2 nm. This result is compared with probing depths of related techniques, and the physical mechanisms responsible for this bulk sensitivity are discussed.
