Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) enables the study of structural and electronic dynamics in solid-state materials with nanoscale spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution [1]. While UEM at high (> 30 keV) and low (< 1keV) electron energies is well established, ultrafast experiments in the intermediate energy regime have been less employed thus far, despite their potential to bridge the gap between surface- and bulk-sensitive measurements. Here, we present a new ultrafast scanning electron microscope (USEM), designed to investigate physical phenomena in the energy range from 1 to 30 keV. The modular architecture supports diverse experimental configurations and detection schemes, spanning from standard SEM operation modes - such as secondary- and backscattered-electron imaging - to more advanced techniques including cathodoluminescence or electron diffraction. In this contribution, we show example measurements, highlighting the performance of our USEM and its potential for exploring ultrafast physical phenomena. [1] A. Feist et al.
