    Abstract: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput is proposed. In the apparatus, a source-conversion unit forms plural and parallel images of one single electron source by deflecting plural beamlets of a parallel primary-electron beam therefrom, and one objective lens focuses the plural deflected beamlets onto a sample surface and forms plural probe spots thereon. A movable condenser lens is used to collimate the primary-electron beam and vary the currents of the plural probe spots, a pre-beamlet-forming means weakens the Coulomb effect of the primary-electron beam, and the source- conversion unit minimizes the sizes of the plural probe spots by minimizing and compensating the off-axis aberrations of the objective lens and condenser lens.

The generator, modulator and/or projector comprise one or more plates provided with apertures for letting the beamlets pass through the plate. The apertures are grouped to form beam areas distinct from non-beam areas having no beamlet apertures. At least one of the plates with apertures is provided with a cooling arrangement (93) disposed on its surface in a non-beam area. The cooling arrangement comprising a plate-shaped body with an inlet (31) for receiving a cooling liquid, a plurality of cooling channels (94) for conveying the cooling liquid therein, and an outlet (35) for removing the cooling liquid. Between the cooling channels, the plate- shaped body has slots (34) that are aligned with the beam areas.

    Abstract: A charged particle detection system comprises plural detection elements and a multi-aperture plate in proximity of the detection elements. Charged particle beamlets can traverse the apertures of the multi-aperture plate to be incident on the detection elements. More than one multi-aperture plate can be provided to form a stack of multi-aperture plates in proximity of the detector. A suitable electric potential supplied to the multi-aperture plate can have an energy filtering property for the plural charged particle beamlets traversing the apertures of the plate.
