A simple accurate method is presented of calculating the potential of two-cylinder lenses separated by a finite gap under the form of an expansion of Bessel functions. The first order properties and the spherical aberration constant are calculated over a large range of potential ratios and gap widths. The results are compared with those obtained by various other methods
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
