Imaging Electron Optics of a Combined Electromagnetic Concentric Spherical System. Part C: Approximate Solutions of Paraxial Equation
Zhou Liwei
The approximate expressions of special solutions of the paraxial equation and its paraxial lateral aberrations have been explored by an ideal model of a combined electromagnetic concentric spherical system in this paper. The approximate expressions of two special solutions of the paraxial equation in a combined electromagnetic concentric spherical system have been derived, and on this basis, some special types of paraxial lateral aberrations such as paraxial spherical-chromatic aberration, paraxial magnification chromatic aberration, and paraxial anisotropic chromatic aberration have been deduced. The results show that the paraxial lateral aberration deduced from the approximation of two special solutions is exactly the same as through the exact solution, which proves the feasibility of the approximation to solve the paraxial lateral aberration.

Imaging Electron Optics of a Combined Electromagnetic Concentric Spherical System. Part B: Paraxial Aberrations
Zhou Liwei
Starting from the two special solutions of the paraxial equation of the combined electromagnetic concentric spherical system, the paraxial longitudinal and lateral aberrations of the combined electromagnetic concentric spherical system have been explored by expanding the representation of the image rotation angle at the ideal imaging position. The main contribution of this paper is to obtain the analytical expression of the two special solutions of paraxial equation at ideal image plane, and it has proved that the paraxial spherical-chromatic aberration of second order that determines the limited spatial resolution of imaging can still be characterized in terms of the Recknagel-Artimovich formula. Expressions of the paraxial lateral aberration composed of paraxial spherical-chromatic aberration, paraxial magnification chromatic aberration, and paraxial anisotropic chromatic aberration have been deduced.
