Gun
A filament serves as gun
1
.The filament is heated by applying the filament current. The heated
filament emits electrons.
EHT The acceleration voltage (U
EHT
) accelerates the emitted electrons.
Gun Alignment
and Display Coils
The gun alignment and emission coils
2
center the electron beam.
Condenser
A double condenser system
3
allows the continuous regulation of the probe current.
Apertures The electron beam passes through the currently selected aperture in the mechanical mid-column
aperture changer
4
to ensure that the optimum quality of beam is maintained.
The design of the aperture changer allows for using 4 apertures. Three apertures are fitted as
standard (positions 0–2). The position of each aperture is marked on the mid-column aperture
changer.
