electron beam dynamics

Electron beam dynamics involve the behavior and control of streams of electrons—tiny charged particles—during their travel in devices like microscopes or particle accelerators. Factors such as electric and magnetic fields influence their speed, focus, and direction. Precise control ensures the beam remains stable and focused, enabling high-resolution imaging or efficient acceleration. Understanding these dynamics helps optimize device performance and safety, as electrons react predictably to electromagnetic forces, allowing scientists and engineers to manipulate their paths with accuracy for various technological and research applications.
