Preface
This book is a theoretical introduction to the optics of charged particle beams. The purpose is to identify the most important ideas and derive them mathematically from first principles of physics. It is a teaching document, intended for an audience of students in the broad sense. As a science book, it focuses on basic principles in a connected way. It is intended for the intelligent non-expert who is comfortable with calculus at an advanced undergraduate level. Experts, including experimentalists, instrument designers, and instrument users, will also find it to be a convenient reference for understanding the theoretical origins of the subject.
Enormous experimental progress has been made in recent years, culminating in commercial availability ...
