Electron Beam Steering

Electron beam steering involves directing a focused stream of electrons accurately toward a target or through a specific path. This is achieved using magnetic or electric fields that manipulate the electrons' trajectory without physical movement of the source. Precise steering allows for applications such as electron microscopes, advanced manufacturing, and medical imaging, where control over the electron beam’s position and focus is essential for high-resolution imaging or targeted treatment. The process relies on electromagnetic principles to guide the electrons swiftly and accurately, enabling detailed examination or processing at microscopic or nanoscopic scales.
