Abstract

See full text

A magnetic lens for focusing a beam of charged particles traveling along an optical axis includes

    an axial bore disposed around said optical axis;magnetic field generating means; andmagnetic yoke, to guide and concentrate said magnetic field toward said optical axis so as to form a focusing region,whereinSaid yoke has a composite structure, comprising an outer primary portion and an inner secondary portion;Said secondary portion is mounted as a monolithic insert within said primary portion so as to be disposed around said focusing region;Said secondary portion comprises a waist region surrounding said bore and acting as a magnetic constriction, configured such that said magnetic field undergoes saturation in said waist region, thereby causing magnetic flux to exit the waist region and form a focusing field in said focusing region.
