    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a manipulator lensing device for focusing a beam of charged particles, wherein the manipulator lensing device comprises a first structure (401) through which is formed an opening, wherein the path of the beam is substantially along a longitudinal axis of the opening, a second structure (402) with a surface (406) surrounding the opening, a support (403) that connects the second structure to the first structure and surrounds the second structure, and an electrode arrangement (407) provided on the surface (406) of the second structure, wherein a first surface (404) of the first structure (401) surrounds the opening, a second surface (405) of the first structure (401) surrounds the opening, the surface (406) of the second structure (402) being arranged along the longitudinal axis between the first and second surfaces of the first structure, the electrode arrangement (407) and each of the first (404) and second (405) surfaces of the first structure (401) are separated from each other by a respective gap in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein, along the longitudinal axis, the extent of the support (403) is less than the extent of the surface (406) of the second structure and/or electrode arrangement (407). Further disclosed is a multi-array lens configured focus a plurality of beamlets of charged particles along a multi-beam path, wherein each lens in the array comprises said manipulator lensing device.
