Gabor Lens

A Gabor lens is a specialized type of lens that uses a cloud of electrons trapped in a magnetic and electric field to focus and manipulate charged particle beams, such as ions or electrons. Unlike traditional glass lenses that bend light, a Gabor lens influences particles based on electromagnetic forces. It’s used in advanced scientific instruments, like particle accelerators, to precisely control particle paths, enabling high-resolution experiments and innovations in fields like physics and materials science. Essentially, it’s an electromagnetic tool for shaping the trajectories of tiny charged particles.
