Abstract

A modulator of a charged particle beam system is arranged to generate a modulation signal that is provided to an inductor, which receives the modulation signal and modulates, by inductance, a supply voltage signal for the charged particle beam system. Modulation of the supply voltage signal changes a focal length of a charged particle beam produced by the charged particle beam system.
