Zusammenfassung:An electron source configured to provide a beam of electrons which propagate substantially along an axis. The electron source comprising a photocathode including a target region configured to emit electrons when illuminated with radiation, wherein the target region is separated from the axis and an anode, wherein the photocathode and the anode are configured to generate an electric field which causes electrons emitted from the target region of the photocathode to be accelerated away from the photocathode and wherein the photocathode and the anode are configured such that the electric field direction is substantially the same throughout the target region, and is inclined toward
