An Electron interferometer is an

which interferes the wave function of electrons to make measurements.

Overview

needs to be small, which again favors neutrons or (heavy) atoms since they have a higher mass. Therefore, many high precision experiments now deploy atom interferometers based on the Sagnac effect.
