Abstract

The high-energy ion nanoprobe LIPSION at the University of Leipzig has been operational since October 1998. Its magnetic quadrupole lens system, arranged as a separated Russian quadruplet, has been developed by the Microanalytical Research Centre (MARC), Melbourne. The ultrastable single-ended 3.5 MV SINGLETRON™ accelerator (High Voltage Engineering Europa) supplies H+ and He+ ion beams with a beam brightness in the range of 10-20 A rad-2 m-2 eV-1 [D.J.W. Mous, R.G. Haitsma, T. Butz, R.-H. Flagmeyer, D. Lehmann, J. Vogt, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B 130 (1997) 31]. Due to this high brightness, the excellent optical properties of the focusing system of the nanoprobe and the suppression of mechani..
