Abstract
A cathode (32), a Wehnelt cylinder (2, 36) and an anode (3, 51) are accommodated in an integrated unit in an electron beam apparatus. Extremely accurate positioning of a Wehnelt bore and an anode bore with respect to one another can be achieved in such an assembled unit which is mounted in the apparatus so as to be removable as one unit. An exactly defined distance between the Wehnelt cylinder and the anode can also be adjusted. As a result of the exact mutual positioning, the anode bore can be chosen to be so small that it can also act as a beam aperture so that a smaller electron-optical object as well as a substantial reduction of the mutual electron interaction in the beam is achieved.
