Where is the wavelength, n is the medium refractive
index and is the semi angle aperture. The denominator
of equation (10) is called numerical aperture.
Equation (10) states that, the resolution enhanced as long
as the wavelength decreases and the numerical aperture
increases. But it is important to know there is a certain
limit to increasing numerical aperture due the effects of
spherical aberration and that concern with image
contrast. Furthermore can not be decreases to be out of
the optical region. Therefore, the optical microscope is
failed to view objects have radius less than 0.1m
approximately. This problem is overcome by invention of
the electron microscope. Accordingly the light source is
replaced by electron source and the glass lens is replaced
by electron lens.
Electron microscope characterized by its ability to
produce images of a high resolution comparing with its
counterpart in light microscope , due to the short

These equations reveal that as long as V

be decreased. For example at an acceleration voltage
60KV, the wavelength the electron beam being 10 times
less than the wavelength of the optical light [12]. Thus
with aid electron microscope, atomic structure could be
sighted and examined at higher voltages.
Considering the presents of spherical aberration in such
electron lens equation (2) may be written in the form
[13].

Thus, any electron optical instrument can provide a better

and uses higher accelerating voltages.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Only the influence of varying half of the half-width a on
the optical properties of the projector lens and hence the
reconstructed pole-pieces has been carried out when the
maximum peak value of the magnetic field distribution
B
max
(Tesla) and lens length L(millimeter) are fixed.
4.1 THE AXIAL MAGNETIC FIELD
DESTRIBUTION
For the values a=(1,2,3,4 and 5) (in unit millimeter), the
axial magnetic field distributions have been computed
and the resultant curves are plotted in figure 2. The
values of the B
max
(maximum peak value of magnetic
field) and lens length L are maintained fixed at 0.1(Tesla)
and 25mm respectively. It is clear that B
z
distribution get
wider as long as a value increased. Such behavior
indicates that lens excitation definitely increases as a
increased in consistence with Ampere' law. Consequently,
the magnetic scalar potential at the terminal of the optical
axis should increase too so as to satisfy the variation in NI
and hence V(z) values at the optical axis terminals as
shown in figure 3.

The pole-piece profiles that can produce each B

distribution, plot in figure 2, are shown in figure 4. It can
be seen that the consequences for increasing a lead to
decreasing the pole-face curvature and hence increasing
the air-gap width s and pole diameters D, these values of
pole diameter equal (4.9542, 9.4518, 13.7392, 17.896 and

4.2 OPTICAL PROPERTIES
The projector magnetic electron lenses suffer from radial
and spiral distortion. Thus, these two parameters in
addition to the projector focal length have been
investigated in this work. In practice, the optical
properties of the final projector lens in an electron
microscope column are very important. Usually, the
accelerated charged particles beam (electrons in the case
of magnetic lenses) leaves the final projector lens parallel
to the optical lens axis. Due to the symmetry of the axial
flux density distribution about the point of the maximum
flux density, zero and infinite magnification conditions
are equivalent to each other as well as low and high
magnification conditions. Therefore, in the present work
the projector properties of the symmetrical double pole-
piece magnetic lenses are computed under infinite
magnification condition using a program written in
Fortran software, i.e., these properties are of final
projector lens in TEM [14].

increases as a result to the
broadening of themagnetic field distribution with increasing the
parameter a. However, it should benoted that thedistortion of
themagnetic lens decreases with increasing a, especially in the
values of a that less than 4mm, while for the values of the
parameter a approximately greater than 4mm, themagnetic lens
has very small amount of thesedistributions and approximately
arenot equal to each other [15].

The influence of the half half-width a on the objective
properties of the projector lens has been studied in this
work. It is important to mention that calculations are
executed at constant value of the optical axis length
L=25mm. The optical focal properties of the symmetrical
double pole-piece magnetic lenses have been determined
under infinite magnification condition. The spherical and
chromatic aberration coefficients with respect to the
image side are the two main defects for the objective lens
have been computed in the present investigation [14].
In the present work we are investigated objective
properties of the projector lens in two states. The first one
in the lens excitation parameter that gives minimum
projector focal length, the second one at the excitation
parameter NI/V
r
1/2
=20.
The variation of spherical and chromatic aberration
coefficients together with objective focal length at the
minimum projector focal length are plotted as a function
of a in figure 6. Clearly, it is seen that the objective focal
length F
o
increased with increasing half of the half-width
a, as well as C
s
and C
c
increase, but the values of them
very closely together and becomes more curvature
between the values of a (3.5-4.5)mm. Thus, the values of
the important objective focal properties of the projector
lens F
o
, C
s
and C
c
at values gives minimum projector
focal length for various values of the parameter a are
given in table 1.
