Abstract

The invention relates to a cathodoluminescence detection system comprising: a collecting optic () collecting light radiation () from a sample illuminated by a beam of charged particles and reflecting said radiation () onto analysis means, said collecting optic () being placed in a chamber, called a vacuum chamber, wherein the pressure is below atmospheric pressure; and means () for adapting the light radiation, placed downstream of the collecting optic () and designed to adapt said light radiation () at the inlet of the analysis means. Said system is characterized in that all or part of the adapting means () is placed in an environment where the pressure is higher than the pressure in said vacuum chamber.
