    Abstract: A monochromator (1) for a charged particle optics, in particular, for electron microscopy, comprises at least one first deflection element (2, 3) with an electrostatic deflecting field (2′, 3′) for generating a dispersion (4) in the plane (5) of a selection aperture (6) to select charged particles of a desired energy interval (7) and at least one second deflection element (8, 9) with an electrostatic deflecting field (8′, 9′) which eliminates the dispersion (4) of the at least one first deflecting field (2′, 3′). A radiation source (17) comprises such a monochromator (1). High monchromatism without intensity contrasts caused by defects of the slit aperture is thereby achieved in that the deflection elements (2, 3, 8, 9) have a design other than spherically shaped and their electrodes (24, 25) are given a potential (φ+, φ−) such that the charged particles (xα, yβ) which virtually enter the image of the radiation source (17) at different respective angles (α, β) in different sections (x, y), are differently focused such that charged particles (xα, yβ) of one energy are point focused (10, 10′, 10″) exclusively in the plane (5) of the selection aperture (6), since zero-crossings (11, 12) of the deflections (A) of the charged particles (xα, yβ) of the different sections (x, y) only coincide there at the same axial position (z, E).

    Abstract: A corrector (10) for an electron microscope is proposed which is less sensitive to fluctuations of the electrical power supply if a stigmatic intermediate image (9) of the axial fundamental rays (xα, yβ) is produced in the quadrupole field (1′) of a first quadrupole element (1) and this quadrupole field (1′) is set such that astigmatic intermediate images (12, 13) of the off-axial fundamental rays (xγ, yδ) are produced in the region of the center of the quadrupole fields (3′, 4′) of a third (3) and fourth multipole element (4) and there also, due to the setting of the quadrupole field (2′) of a second quadrupole element (2), the axial fundamental rays (xα, yβ) of the same section (x, y) as that, in which the intermediate images (12, 13) of the off-axial fundamental rays (xγ, yδ) are located, each exhibit a maximum.

    Abstract: An electrostatic corrector for eliminating the chromatic aberration of particle lenses, includes a corrector having a straight optical axis and an electrostatic quadrupole for allocating to the objective lens. Two corrector pieces are positioned behind the quadrupole, along the optical axis in the direction of radiation. Each corrector piece has three electrical quadrupole fields with an overlying circular lens field. The quadrupole fields, however, are rotated 90° about the optical axis in relation to each other. This arrangement is adjusted so that the astigmatic first image of one sectional view lies in one corrector piece and the astigmatic first image perpendicular thereto, of the other sectional view, lies in the other corrector piece, with another electrostatic quadrupole being located on the output side.

    Abstract: A particle-optical corrector for eliminating both the third-order aperture aberration and the third-order extra-axial coma, using circular lenses and hexapole fields, includes three coaxially arranged hexapole fields, at least one circular lens doublet being arranged between adjacent hexapole fields and adjusted so that the center hexapole field is imaged on the hexapole fields. Between the hexapole fields, an intermediate plane prevails and the intermediate planes are conjugated with one another. The three hexapole fields are identically oriented in the Larmor reference system with the intensities of the three fields being chosen so that the image aberration coefficient of the astigmatism with three-fold symmetry becomes 0. The corrective contains two hexapole fields, in which the fields of the hexapole field pair are excited anti-symmetrically to one another, and the pairs are in each case arranged around the two intermediate planes. The orientation of the hexapole field pairs is rotated with respect to the orientation defined by the hexapole fields by a sufficient angle so that the extra-axial third order coma is corrected.
