An electron exit window foil for use with a high performance electron beam generator operating in a corrosive environment is provided. The electron exit window foil comprises a sandwich structure having a film of Ti, a first layer of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than Ti, and a flexible second layer of a material being able to protect said film from said corrosive environment, wherein the second layer is facing the corrosive environment.

An electron beam device has a body provided with an exit window, said body is forming or is at least partly forming a vacuum chamber, the vacuum chamber comprising therein a cathode housing and at least one electron generating filament. At least one getter sheet is provided between the cathode housing and the filament. The invention is further comprising a getter sheet for use in an electron beam device and a method of manufacturing an electron beam device comprising at least one getter sheet.

In a method for producing a base body with hard material particles, an adhesive is first of all applied with a defined film thickness to the entire or parts of the working surface of the tool to be produced. Next, the hard material particles are applied to the regions of the working surface provided with the adhesive for lasting adhesion. Hard material particles are applied evenly by an apparatus and are then transferred to the working surface of the tool to be produced provided with the adhesive, on which they remain adhered before the adhesive has hardened. This method enables rapid coating of the working surface of the tool with a predeterminable uniform number of detached hard material particles per unit of area.

A sensor is adapted to sense the intensity of an electron beam generated by an electron beam generator and exited from the generator through an exit window along a path towards a target within a target area. The sensor comprises at least one area of at least one conductive layer located within the path and connected to a current detector. The area, or areas, of the at least one conductive layer are shielded from the surrounding environment and from the exit window (and from one another when there are more than one area) by a shield. The shield is formed on the exit window. The sensor forms a part of a sensing system.
