Title: Magnetic lens apparatus for a low-voltage high-resolution electron microscope

Patent ·
OSTI ID:379943

A lens apparatus is disclosed in which a beam of charged particles of low accelerating voltage is brought to a focus by a magnetic field, the lens being situated behind the target position. The lens comprises an electrically-conducting coil arranged around the axis of the beam and a magnetic pole piece extending along the axis of the beam at least within the space surrounded by the coil. The lens apparatus comprises the sole focusing lens for high-resolution imaging in a low-voltage scanning electron microscope. 6 figs.
