摘要 |
An apparatus for generating a dual-energy electron beam. The apparatus includes a first electron beam source configured to generate a lower-energy electron beam, and a second electron beam source configured to generate a higher-energy electron beam. The apparatus further includes a combining device for forming the dual-energy electron beam by combining the lower-energy and higher-energy electron beams. In addition, a first controllable electron-beam deflector is configured to provide a controllable offset of a first area illuminated by the lower-energy electron beam in relation to an image data collection area, and a second controllable electron-beam deflector configured to provide a controllable offset of a second area illuminated by the higher-energy electron beam in relation to the image data collection area. A moving stage and a time delay integration detection system are utilized. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
