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:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
