This letter demonstrates that ion channeling patterns, produced by the passage of 3 MeV protons through a 0.5 &mgr;m thick [001] silicon crystal, can be transported and manipulated to produce enlarged or reduced area patterns using magnetic quadrupole lenses. The different effects on the ion channeling patterns obtained by using single quadrupole lenses and quadrupole multiplets are shown. The maximum attainable magnification under present conditions is investigated and a fundamental limitation to this process is identified as being the energy spread gained by the proton beam as it passes through the crystal. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
