Abstract
A system for reducing aberration effects in a charged particle beam. The system includes a source of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, and various building blocks for operating on the charged particle beam to generate a desired particle beam pattern. These building blocks can include at least one of a uniform magnetic field component and a uniform electrostatic field component arrangeable in different combinations, enabling coefficients of spherical and chromatic aberration to be canceled out thereby providing a charged particle beam having greatly diminished aberration.
