History
History of FIB technology
- 1975: The first FIB systems based on field emission technology were developed by Levi-Setti and by Orloff and Swanson and used gas field ionization sources (GFISs).
- 1978: The first FIB based on an LMIS was built by Seliger et al.
Physics of LMIS
- 1600: Gilbert documented that fluid under high tension forms a cone.
- 1914: Zeleny observed and filmed cones and jets
- 1959: Feynman suggested the use of ion beams.
- 1964: Taylor produced exactly conical solution to equations of electro hydrodynamics (EHD)
- 1975: Krohn and Ringo produced first high brightness ion source: LMIS

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
