Glaser’s famous bell-shaped model suggested that in order to attain the minimum focal length and the minimum aberrations of a magnetic lens used in a TEM the specimen should be put at the middle of the gap of a pair of symmetrical polepieces [1], e.g. called objective polepiece.
A strong upper-objective polepiece is needed to create a convergent beam to form a CBED (convergent-beam electron diffraction) pattern.
Figure 4258 shows the schematic illustration of EBSD setup in a SEM system. The objective pole piece of the system is indicated. The working distance for EBSD is roughly between 8 and 45 mm.

Note that in some cases, special objective pole pieces need to be designed for particular applications, for instance, in situ STM-TEM applications.
