Abstract

The invention relates to an electron beam splitter (1) comprising a multi-pole electrode arrangement with a high-frequency alternating current voltage (5), which extends along a specified path (6) from an inlet side (9) to an outlet side (10), wherein the electrode arrangement (5) generates on the inlet side (9) with a first number of electrodes (7) impacted by the voltage a first oscillating electric field (61), which forms on a transversal plane a single local confinement minimum (62) in a time-averaged manner, and wherein the electrode arrangement (5) generates at least on the outlet side (10) with a second number of voltage-impacted electrodes (7) a second oscillating electric field (65), which forms at least two local confinement minimums (66, 67) in a time averaged manner.
