Abstract

A detector for charged particles includes three grid electrodes arranged approximately parallel to the surface of a specimen and separated from one another by insulating spacers, as well as a charged particle sensitive part nearly completely covering the specimen. The particle sensitive part includes a plurality of rod shaped scintillators or light conductors lying at a high potential for post acceleration of secondary particles and lying in a plane approximately parallel to the surface of the specimen.
