Meaning
Electronic equipment that uses a magnetic or electric field in order to focus a beam of electrons.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The electron lens in the microscope is used to focus the electron beam onto the sample, producing a high-resolution image.
- The electron lens is typically used in combination with other components to control the beam's trajectory and improve image quality.
- In order to observe the crystal structure of the sample, the electron lens must be carefully aligned to optimize the beam's convergence.
- Electron lenses are also used in particle accelerators to steer and focus beams of charged particles.
- The electron lens in the electron microscope uses a combination of electric and magnetic fields to converge the electron beam onto the detector.
