Abstract

A cathodoluminescence detection system is provided, including a collection optic collecting light radiation coming from a sample illuminated by a charged particle beam and sending the light radiation to an analyzer, a positioner for the collection optic; the positioner including several translation components of the collection optic. Each translation component effects the translation of the collection optic in one dimension of space so that the translation components effect the translation of the collection optic in several dimensions of space.
