ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus for generating a plurality of charged particle beamlets, comprising a charged particle source for generating a diverging charged particle beam, a converging means for refracting said diverging charged particle beam and a lens array comprising a plurality of lenses, wherein said lens array is located between said charged particle source and said converging means.In this way, it is possible to reduce aberrations of the converging means.
