Abstract

Abstract A corpuscular-beam transmission-type microscope in which image elements are generated simultaneously. The microscope includes a specimen holding stage movable perpendicular to the microscope axis in a pair of transverse adjustment directions, beam deflectors disposed behind the specimen along the beam path for deflecting an image in the microscope in at least one deflection direction, and magnetic lens imaging means disposed between the specimen and the beam deflectors which helically deflects, between the specimen and the beam deflectors, parts of the beam not disposed in the microscope axis and rotates the image of the specimen through an image rotation angle in the microscope. The improvement of the invention comprises the beam deflectors deflecting the beam in a pair of transverse deflection directions disposed in a plane parallel to the pair of transverse adjustment directions and rotated with respect to the pair of transverse adjustment directions through an angle coinciding with the image rotation angle.

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 157 words
In a corpuscular-beam transmission-type microscope in which image elements are generated simultaneously including means for holding a specimen movable perpendicular to the microscope axis in a pair of transverse adjustment directions, beam deflection means disposed behind the specimen along the beam path for deflecting an image of the specimen in the microscope in at least one deflection direction, and magnetic lens imaging means disposed between the specimen and the beam deflection means which helically deflects, between the specimen and the beam deflection means, parts of the beam not disposed in the microscope axis and rotates the image of the specimen through an image rotation angle in the microscope, the improvement comprising said beam deflection means deflecting said beam in a pair of transverse deflection directions disposed in a plane parallel to said pair of transverse adjustment directions and rotated with respect to said pair of transverse adjustment directions through an angle coinciding with said image rotation angle.
