We describe new results of development of novel generation cylindrical plasma devices based on the electrostatic plasma lens configuration and concept of electrons magnetic insulation. The crossed electric and magnetic fields plasma lens configuration provides us with the attractive and suitable method for establishing a stable plasma discharge at low pressure. Using plasma lens configuration in this way some cost-effective plasma devices were developed for ion treatment and deposition of exotic coatings and the effective lens was first proposed for manipulating high-current beams of negatively charged particles. Here we describe operation and features of these plasma devices, and results of theoretical consideration of mechanisms determining their optimal operation conditions.
