  • OPTICAL EXTRACTION PROBE FOR ELECTRON MICROSCOPE AND OTHER VACUUM CHAMBERS
    Publication number: 20230333034
    Abstract: A beam extraction system is provided. The beam extraction system includes a first focusing optic, a second focusing optic, and an optic relay coupled to the first focusing optic and the second focusing optic. The first focusing optic is configured to form a light beam from light collected from a sample positioned at a focal point of the first focusing optic. The second focusing optic is configured to couple the light beam to a detector. The optic relay provides an optic path for the light beam from the first focusing optic to the second focusing optic.

  • WIDE FIELD-OF-VIEW CHARGED PARTICLE FILTER
    Publication number: 20210310348
    Abstract: An embodiment of a charged particle filter is described that comprises a plurality of magnets, each having a surface sloped at an angle relative to a plane defined by a line from a center of a field of view on a detector to the center of a field of view on a platform. In the described embodiment, the sloped surfaces are positioned to form a bore that comprises a magnetic field gradient that is strongest at a first aperture on a side of the bore proximate to the detector.
