Abstract
A method for correcting aberrations in a charged particle spectrometer includes receiving, by the charged particle spectrometer, a charged particle beam along an axis and applying a first decapole field to the charged particle beam by a first optical correction element of the charged particle spectrometer. At least a portion of the first optical correction element is positioned before a line focus of the charged particle beam in a dispersion plane on the axis and a cross-over location on the axis such that the first decapole field partially attenuates a fourth order aberration associated with the charged particle beam. The method includes increasing a dispersion and applying a second decapole field to the charged particle beam by a second optical correction element of the spectrometer such that the second optical correction element is positioned after the cross-over such that the second decapole field further attenuates the fourth order aberration.
