Abstract
A portable scanning electron microscope (SEM) column design is present ed which makes use of permanent magnets. Simulation results predict th at such an SEM column is feasible and that it can be compact. The colu mn height is typically less than 12 cm. The column is designed to be m odular, so that it can fit onto a wide range of different specimen cha mber types, and can also be readily replaced.
