Abstract
Electron lenses are the magnetic equivalent of the glass lenses in an optical microscope and, to a large extent, we can draw comparisons between the two. For example, the behavior of all the lenses in a TEM can be approximated to the action of a convex (converging) glass lens on monochromatic light. The lens is basically used to do two things:
-
either take all the rays emanating from a point in an object and recreate a point in an image,
-
or focus parallel rays to a point in the focal plane of the lens.
