This lecture will cover the basic principles of ion source, optics and ion-material interaction in a focused ion beam machine with an emphasis on the differences from, and similarities to, the electron-beam instrument. In addition, the lecture will describe the configuration of the FEI Helios 600 Nanolab Dual Beam workstation in the CMSE Electron Microscopy Facility, and conclude with application examples as well as open discussion of the material characterization and nanofabrication uses of the dual beam workstation.
