Abstract

There is disclosed an OMEGA energy filter comprising three magnetic field regions and producing small aberrations. The electron beam trajectory from the entrance window plane to the slit plane is continuously deflected into an omega-shaped form. Three magnetic field regions M,, M,, and M,having deflection angles &PHgr;, 2&PHgr;, and &PHgr;, respectively, are arranged in turn from the incident side. The deflection angle &PHgr; is set such that 102°_. . . &PHgr;_. . . 115°. The radius of curvature R,of the beam in the magnetic field region having the deflection angle 2&PHgr; is set less than the radius of curvature R,of the beam in the magnetic field regions having the deflection angle &PHgr;.
