The electron-photon conversion element is configured to generate photons in response to the received electrons. The detection apparatus includes an optical assembly including one or more optical elements. The detection apparatus includes a detector assembly. The optical elements of the optical assembly are configured to direct the generated photons from the electron-photon conversion system to the detector assembly.

    Abstract: Provided is a charged particle beam device capable of observing the interior and the surface of a sample in a simple manner. This charged particle beam device operates in a transmitted charged particle image mode and a secondary charged particle image mode. In the transmitted charged particle image mode, a transmitted charged particle image is produced on the basis of a detection signal (512) associated with light emitted from a light-emitting member (500) that emits light upon being irradiated with transmitted charged particles transmitted through the interior of a sample (6). In the secondary charged particle image mode, a secondary charged particle image is produced on the basis of a detection signal (518) caused by reflected charged particles or secondary charged particles (517) from the sample (6).
