| Superconducting magnets is not commonly used in magnetic lenses, e.g. in EM (electron microscope) systems, even though they can provide a high magnetic field. The reason is that the superconducting coils can not generate a narrow (highly confined) field distribution. Recently, superconducting shield lenses using the Meissner effect have been used to make the narrow magnetic field [1]. However, the technology for the production of such lenses was very difficult and inappropriate for commercial production.
