    Abstract: A particle-optical apparatus, such as an ESEM®, for simultaneous observing a sample with particles and photons. A pressure limiting aperture (PLA) is placed in a diaphragm between the objective lens of the ESEM® and the sample position. The distance between the sample position and the aperture is sufficiently small to allow a large collection angle of the photons through this aperture. A mirror is placed between the diaphragm and the objective lens. Due to the large collection angle for photons a large NA is achieved. The small distance between sample position and aperture also result in less scattering of electrons than occurs in ESEM's where a mirror is placed between aperture and sample position, as the electrons have to travel through only a limited length in a high pressure area. Embodiments describe combinations where e.g. an immersion lens is used.

    Abstract: A detector for use with a high pressure SEM, such as an ESEM® environmental SEM from FEI Company, extends the effective detection space above the PLA, thereby increasing secondary signal amplification without increasing working distance or pressure. Embodiments can therefore provide improved resolution and can operate at lower gas pressures.

    Abstract: The current invention includes methods and apparatuses for processing, that is, altering and imaging, a sample in a high pressure charged particle beam system. Embodiments of the invention include a cell in which the sample is positioned during high pressure charged particle beam processing. The cell reduces the amount of gas required for processing, thereby allowing rapid introduction, exhaustion, and switching between gases and between processing and imaging modes. Maintaining the processes gases within the cell protects the sample chamber and column from contact with the gases. In some embodiments, the temperature of the cell walls and the sample can be controlled.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a particle-optical apparatus with a predetermined final vacuum pressure. To that end a vacuum chamber of said apparatus is via a first restriction connected to a volume where vapour or gas is present at a known pressure and via a second restriction to a vacuum pump. By making the ratio of the two conductances, associated with said restrictions, a calibrated ratio, the final pressure of the vacuum chamber is a predetermined final pressure. This eliminates the need for e.g. vacuum gauges and control systems, resulting in a more compact design of such apparatus.

    Abstract: Improvements and modifications are described to an image analyzing system in which an image of a field under analysis is displayed on a television monitor screen and features can be edited by adding or subtracting feature content to or from the display (and corresponding signal content to or from the signal which is to be processed for analysis) using a light pen.One improvement provides for straight line interpolation between points in the display selected by the light pen during successive frame scans, so that a continuous trace and therefore corresponding signal is produced in the display corresponding to the path traced out by the light pen.Another provides for an alarm signal to be generated if the storage facility used for storing the locus of the trace to allow its reconstruction during successive frame scans, becomes more than a given percentage occupied.A further modification provides symbols to be displayed indicating the various editing functions which can be performed, one of which can be selected by the light pen.A circuit is described for causing a brightened-up mark to appear in the display to indicate the point selected by the light pen and also to modulate the video signal within an outlined area to indicate visually that the area has been selected.
