electron optics, paraxial optics, electron mirror, numerical methods, trajectory analysisAbstract
The problem of studying the influence of electron mirrors design features, in particular, the gaps between
the electrodes on their electron-optical characteristics is solved. A method to solve the problem that combines the
advantages of analytical paraxial and numerical approaches is described. FOCUS CPM software developed by
the authors of the work that implements the method described is presented. Calculation accuracy is estimated
using the example of a three-electrode mirror. A focus position as a function of gap width between cylindrical
electrodes is calculated and analyzed.
