Abstract Hulett et al. have suggested forming a magnified image of the positrons re-emitted from a surface having a negative positron affinity as a new kind of microscope, the positron re-emission microscope (PRM). We have built an immersion objective (cathode lens) for the PRM and obtained the first images using a Ni film back-illuminated with 5 keV positrons from a brightness enhanced slow positron beam. The magnification at the detector plane is 330x and the resolution is better than 1 μm. With the addition of a projector lens the magnification and resolution should be sufficient to observe defect structures and large molecules on the surface.
