Abstract: A multiple particle beam system comprises: a magnetic lens through which a plurality of individual charged particle beams pass; and a controller configured to control, such as dynamically control, the magnetic lens. The magnetic lens comprises a coil, a winding body and a pole shoe. The coil is arranged around the winding body and the winding body is a hollow body through which the plurality of individual particle beams pass. The coil, together with the winding body, is arranged within the pole shoe. The pole shoe has an opening through which a magnetic field created by the magnetic lens emerges from the pole shoe and interacts with the plurality of individual particle beams to obtain a lens effect. The winding body is electrically conductive and has an interruption, by which the electrical conductivity of the winding body is interrupted in the circumferential direction around the particle-optical axis.
