Particle beam system

Abstract

The invention relates to a particle beam system (PBS) comprising a particle guiding tube, one or more transversely movable electrodes (of a defined type) providing a transverse electric and/or magnetic field (pulse or linear) wherein a particle flow can be influenced by the electrodes which can further have a defined shape. The PBS can be provided with a protective film and/or an insulation, it can form a mono and/or stereo particle path. The PBC can provide a cross-sectionally shaped beam, an adjustable optical axis, a rotating electric and/or magnetic field, a circularly polarized beam. The PBS can form an array, it can comprise one or more connections, one or more modules. The PBC can be coupled with electro- and/or mechanocomponents. The PBC can form lenses configured in a separate eye ray configuration. A method for providing a particle beam and a digitizer of photographic or X-ray images are proposed.
