FIG. 6D illustrates third focus electrodes 224 added to the electrode assembly 220 shown in FIG. 4D. Preferably, a third focus electrode 224 is located upstream of each first electrode 232. For example, the third focus electrode 224 b is in-line and symmetrically aligned with the first electrode 232-2, as shown by extension line B. Extension line B is located midway between the second electrodes 242-2, 242-3. The third focus electrode 224 a is in-line and symmetrically aligned with the first electrode 232-1, as shown by extension line A. Similarly, the third electrode 224 c is in-line and symmetrically aligned with the first electrode 232-3, as shown by extension line C. Extension lines A-C extend from the middle of the nose 246 of the �U�-shaped second electrodes 242-2,242-3 through the first electrodes 232-1, 232-3, respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the third electrodes 224 a, 224 b, 224 c with the high voltage generator 170 by the conductor 234. This embodiment can also include a pair of third focus electrodes 224 upstream of each first electrode 232 as is depicted in FIG. 6C.
