在过去的几十年里，蒙特卡洛模拟已经被显微镜学家广泛使用。一开始，这是一个繁琐而缓慢的过程，需要用户高水平的计算机技能和长时间的计算时间。微电子工业的最新进展现在为研究人员提供了时钟频率大于3 GHz的负担得起的台式计算机。有了这种类型的计算能力，蒙特卡罗模拟不再是一个排他性或长期（过夜）的过程。本文的目的是提出一个新的用户友好的模拟程序的基础上，早期的CASINO蒙特卡罗程序。该软件的目的是帮助扫描电子显微镜用户解释成像和微观分析，以及更先进的程序，包括电子束光刻。此版本使用了新的架构，提供结果的速度是原来的两倍。该程序可免费提供给科学界，并可从网站www.gel.usherb.ca/casino下载。
Monte Carlo simulations have been widely used by microscopists for the last few decades. In the beginning it was a tedious and slow process, requiring a high level of computer skills from users and long computational times. Recent progress in the microelectronics industry now provides researchers with affordable desktop computers with clock rates greater than 3 GHz. With this type of computing power routinely available, Monte Carlo simulation is no longer an exclusive or long (overnight) process. The aim of this paper is to present a new user-friendly simulation program based on the earlier CASINO Monte Carlo program. The intent of this software is to assist scanning electron microscope users in interpretation of imaging and microanalysis and also with more advanced procedures including electron-beam lithography. This version uses a new architecture that provides results twice as quickly.
