Talk:Electrostatic lens

Comment
I'm curious, are these lenses solid matter or not? Glass, crystal or feilds created by currents or magnatism?

Electrostatic lenses are made from solid matter, so that it can be set to a particular voltage. It is generally made with a thin metal, such as Copper, than can be used in high vacuum without detrimental side effects.

Raman: this article does not have the sufficient information at all.. i was not able to understand the working or an electrostatic lens. i would really appreciate if they'd put a diagram or construction of the lens along wih the article, it will certainly help in understanding it better.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.247.68.75 (talk) 11:44, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
