Explore: Electrostatic Lenses

optical lens assists in the transport of light in an optical instrument. Systems of electrostatic lenses can be designed in the same way as optical lenses, so

recognize the technical differences between his electrostatic electron lenses and the magnetic lenses used by others. 1911 – Montefiori Prize, Institut

optics is used because magnetic and electrostatic lenses act upon a charged particle beam similarly to optical lenses upon a light beam. Electron optics

Night Vision Laboratory, Fort Belvoir, Virginia built the bakeable electrostatic lenses and metal-sealed valves for PEEM. During the 1960s, in the PEEM,

for electronic lenses because of unavoidable aberrations. German physicist Otto Scherzer found in 1936 that the electromagnetic lenses, which are used

Electron lenses may operate electrostatically or magnetically. The majority of electron lenses for TEM use electromagnetic coils to generate a convex lens. The

An einzel lens (from German: Einzellinse – single lens), or unipotential lens, is a charged particle electrostatic lens that focuses without changing

microscopes (SEMs). They both have series of electromagnetic and electrostatic lenses to focus a high energy beam of electrons on a sample. In a TEM the

Wehnelt acts as a control grid and it also serves as a convergent electrostatic lens. An electron emitter is positioned directly above the Wehnelt aperture
