    Abstract: A scanning probe microscope having a probe attachment fixture, to which a probe assembly is removably attached during measurements, driven in an engagement direction, and a sample stage driven in scanning directions perpendicular to the engagement direction includes a buffer with a number of buffer stations within the sample stage. When the stage is driven so that one of the buffer stations is in alignment with the attachment fixture, and when the attachment fixture is driven in the engagement direction to be in proximity to the buffer station, the probe assembly is selectively transferred in either direction between the attachment fixture and the buffer station. In a preferred embodiment, probe assemblies are transferred on transfer pallets, and a stationary magazine is provided for storing these pallets, which are transferred in either direction between the magazine and the buffer.

    Abstract: The invention which relates to a device for the generating of electron beams with a vacuum chamber, in which a massive cathode (10) is arranged with a wire cathode (14) arranged above and a aperture anode (17) below the massive cathode (10) and whom below the aperture anode (17) focusing and/or deflecting magnet arrangements are provided which direct an electron beam (23) emitted by the massive cathode (10) and accelerated by the aperture anode (17) to a processing location (22), has the basic task to make the power of such devices variable over a large range using simple mechanical means. According to the invention the task is solved by arranging the aperture anode (17) rigidly and the massive cathode (10) and the wire cathode (14) axially movable within the vacuum chamber (1). For the movements of the massive cathode (10) and the wire cathode (14) contact means are provided which follow their movements and lead to the outside of the vacuum chamber (1). In addition for the axial movement of the massive cathode (10) a motion means is provided connected with the cathode (Figure).
