Abstract
An electron beam apparatus has a primary beam directed onto a point of a specimen to generate emerging secondary electrons that proceed to a detector after traversing an electrical extraction field. The extraction field is provided between electrodes arranged in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the electron beam device and a magnetic field is provided perpendicular to the electrical extraction field to compensate for the forces of the extraction field exerted on the primary beam yet to promote extraction of the secondary electrons.
