Abstract: An object is to provide an electron gun that makes it possible to verify whether or not an electron beam emitted form a photocathode is misaligned from a designed emission center axis. The object can be achieved by an electron gun including: a light source; a photocathode; and an anode. The electron gun includes an intermediate electrode arranged between the photocathode and the anode, an electron beam shielding member configured to block a part of an electron beam, a measurement unit configured to measure an intensity of an electron beam blocked by the electron beam shielding member, and an electron beam emission direction deflector arranged between the anode and the electron beam shielding member and configured to change a position where an electron beam that passed through the anode reaches the electron beam shielding member. The intermediate electrode has an electron beam passage hole and a drift space.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a device with which it is possible to adjust the focal point of an electron beam both toward a shorter focal point and toward a longer focal point after an electronic gun was fitted on a counterpart device.
The aforementioned problem can be solved by an electron gun including a photocathode, and an anode, the electron gun furthermore comprising an intermediate electrode disposed between the photocathode and the anode, the intermediate electrode comprising an electron-beam passage hole through which an electron beam released from the photocathode passes, and the electron-beam passage hole having formed therein a drift space in which, when an electrical field is formed between the photocathode and the anode due to application of a voltage, the effect of the electrical field can be disregarded.-

Abstract: This electron beam applicator includes: a light source; a photocathode; an anode; a detector; and a control unit. The photocathode receives two or more pulsed excitation light beams, and are emitted so that the excitation light beams are received by the photocathode at different timings, the control unit sets two or more irradiation regions and causes two or more pulsed electron beams formed in response to receiving the two or more pulsed excitation light beams of the different timings to be emitted to different irradiation regions, respectively, the detector generates detection signals by detecting, at different timings, pulsed emitted substances emitted from the different irradiation regions and outputs the generated detection signals in association with position information on the different irradiation regions, and the number of detectors is less than the number of electron beams emitted to the irradiation targets.
