Electron beam blanking systems

Electron beam blanking in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) by deflection over a chopping aperture is reviewed. The first part is concerned with electron beam deflection structures and driving methods, the second part with electron optics of deflection blanking systems in the SEM.
