Abstract
Correctors for correcting two-fold, fifth-order parasitic aberrations in charged particle systems according to the present disclosure include a first corrective component that generates a first quadrupole field when a first excitation is applied to the first corrective component, and a second corrective component that generates a second quadrupole field when a second excitation is applied to the second corrective component. Correctors according to the present disclosure also include a quadrupole positioned between the second corrective component and the sample when used in the charged particle microscope system that generates a third quadrupole field. The third quadrupole field, in combination with at least the first quadrupole field and the second quadrupole field, corrects the fifth-order, two-fold aberrations when the charged particle microscope is in use.
