An electrostatic accelerated-charged-particle deflector includes a first
electrode and a plurality of wire second electrodes spatially mounted with
respect to each other and the first electrode to permit the passage of the
accelerated charged particles between the first electrode and the second
electrodes. A power supply is connected to establish a voltage gradient
between the first electrode and the wire electrodes normal to the
direction of motion of the charged particles to interact therewith and
deflect the charged particles. The potential gradient is established with
the wire second electrodes being electrically positive in potential
relative the first electrode.
