Electron Beam

An electron beam is a stream of electrons, which are tiny charged particles, directed in a specific path using an electronic device called an electron gun. This beam is used in various applications like electron microscopes for detailed imaging or in electron beam welding for precise metal fusion. The electrons are accelerated to high speeds, giving them significant energy, which allows them to interact with materials at the atomic level or deliver concentrated energy to a focused point. This precise control of electrons enables advanced technology in science, manufacturing, and medicine.
