"Beam bender" is the better term over "ion trap". The angled gun aims both the electrons & ions away from the screen. The beam bender redirects the electrons to the center of the screen, and has little effect on the heavier ion. If you have a decent image, you have the correct magnet. Earlier tubes used "double field" magnets. As they were rebuilt, all or most went to single field magnets.
