Description

A design procedure for a charged particle optical system where all second order matrix elements can be made to vanish simultaneously has been described by Brown. The symmetry of the system requires all geometric second-order matrix elements to vanish. A proof is given that all chromatic second-order matrix elements will also vanish. (orig.)
