Abstract:
Control of an active vibration isolation system with a digital controller, which includes an FPGA system (5) as the control unit. The FPGA system (5) is made up of freely programmable gate arrays with a sensor control matrix (51), which calculates axis signals in required degrees of freedom, with a control cascade block (53) for the axis signals containing several biquad filters (531, 532, 533, 534, 535), and with an output signal calculation block (55) for calculating digital actuator actuation signals. A digital signal processor (9) is connected in parallel with the FPGA system (5) in order to calculate controls with low phase loss requirements.
Abstract:
An arrangement and a method for imaging, examining and processing a sample using electrons. The arrangement comprises an electron microscope for providing electrons, a chamber with a sample holder on which a sample is positionable such that it can be imaged, examined and processed using the electrons. A system for magnetic field compensation in at least one spatial direction, including a compensation coil, wherein a wall of the chamber has an accommodation area, in sections thereof, for a portion of the compensation coil. Generally, only the chamber in which the sample is arranged is considered as a compensation volume. It suffice to reduce the compensation volume to the sensitive region of the electron microscope, since it is in the chamber, shortly following a final focusing and filtering, where the electron beam is most sensitive in terms of image quality when subjected to external electromagnetic interference.
