Abstract A new ultrahigh-resolution photoemission electron microscope called PEEM3 is being developed at the Advanced Light Source. An electron mirror combined with a sophisticated magnetic beam separator is used to provide simultaneous correction of spherical and chromatic aberrations. PEEM3 electron mirror has four rotationally symmetric electrons and gives three free knobs to adjust the focal length, the chromatic and the spherical aberrations so that a wide aberration region can be covered for all the operation modes of objective lens. PEEM3 magnetic separator has double mirror symmetry configuration and images its entrance plane 1:1 in its exit plane. A further enormous advantage of the aberration correction is the increase of electron transmission. The goal of the PEEM3 project is to achieve the highest possible transmission of the system at resolutions comparable to our present PEEM2 system and to enable significantly higher resolution, albeit at the sacrifice of intensity. We have left open the possibility to add an energy filter at a later date, if it becomes necessary driven by scientific need to improve the resolution further. The instrument will be installed on an elliptically polarized undulator beamline and will be used for the study of complex materials at high spatial and spectral resolution.

In our model to determine the resolution of PEEM3, the secondary electron distribution is used. We create a statistical ensemble of electrons with initial energy and angle spread and track the electron beam distribution weighted with the probability anywhere in the system. The resolution is defined as 68% in intensity of the point spread function. The diffraction effect is calculated for each energy electron and summed up incoherently to yield diffraction Airy pattern. Operating at 20kV and 2mm working distance, the point resolution for 100% transmission reaches 50nm with the mirror corrector, a significant reduction from that of 440nm without correction. The best resolution can be achieved is 5nm at 2% transmission.

An elliptically polarized undulator (EPU) at the straight sector 11 of the ALS will be used to produced in-plan linear, perpendicular linear, left and right handed circularly polarized radiation with continuous change of ellipticity. A variable line space (VLS) plane grating monochromator beamline will provide soft x-ray in the spectral range from 100eV to 1500eV.

The beam separator is of so-called double mirror symmetry for each quadrant of the magnet to cancel all the second-order geometric aberrations. The imaging property of the beam separator is equivalent to that of a telescopic four round lens. The object side focal plane of the first lens is transferred with unit magnification into the image side focal plane of the fourth lens. The specification of the separator is given in table 1.
