3. Speed • Scanning microscopy is coherent flux hungry • No loss of time during fills • Higher average current • No settling time required after fills
4. Flexibility • To try unusual operation modes with potentially poor lifetime • Low emittance e.g. low beta function • Timing modes • Special beam size
