Photoelectron momentum microscopy is an emerging powerful method for angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), especially in combination with imaging spin filters. These instruments record k(x)-k(y) images, typically exceeding a full Brillouin zone. As energy filters, double-hemispherical or time-of-flight (ToF) devices are in use. Here, we present a new approach for momentum mapping of the full half-space, based on a large single hemispherical analyzer (path radius of 225 mm). Excitation by an unfocused He lamp yielded an energy resolution of 7.7 meV. The performance is demonstrated by k-imaging of quantum-well states in Au and Xe multilayers. The alpha(2)-aberration term (alpha, entrance angle in the dispersive plane) and the transit-time spread of the electrons in the spherical field are studied in a large pass-energy (6 eV-660 eV) and angular range (alpha up to +/- 7 degrees). It is discussed how the method circumvents the preconditions of previous theoretical work on the resolution limitation due to the alpha(2)-term and the transit-time spread, being detrimental for time-resolved experiments. Thanks to k-resolved detection, both effects can be corrected numerically. We introduce a dispersive-plus-ToF hybrid mode of operation, with an imaging ToF analyzer behind the exit slit of the hemisphere. This instrument captures 3D data arrays I (E-B, k(x), k(y)), yielding a gain up to N-2 in recording efficiency (N being the number of resolved time slices). A key application will be ARPES at sources with high pulse rates such as synchrotrons with 500 MHz time structure.
