Abstract
A charged particle beam is controlled by two pairs of deflectors that adjust the beam through two or more deflection centers, thereby saving cost and space and reducing system noise. The mathematics of the superposition of signals and, therefore, of the deflecting fields provide orthogonality of the adjustments so that all adjustments are independent of each other.
