An effective in situ field‐emission measurement system , in which the distance between the emitting source and counter electrode can be accurately measured and finely controlled by setting up a second stage inside a scanning electron microscopy chamber, is developed. It is found that nanowires with a density between 60 and 80 μm –2 (see figure) and of ca. 1 μm in length give the highest emitting current density.
