Zusammenfassung: | An electron detection system for detecting secondary electrons emitted from a sample irradiated by a Focused Ion Beam (FIB). The FIB emanates from a FIB column and travels along a beam axis within a beam region, which extends from the FIB column to the sample. The system comprises an electron detector configured for detecting the secondary electrons, and a deflecting field configured to deflect a trajectory of the secondary electrons, which were propagating towards the FIB column, to propel away from the beam axis and towards the electron detector. The deflecting field may be configured to divert the trajectory of secondary electrons while the secondary electrons are generally within the beam region. |
