    摘要: Ordinary charged particle beam apparatuses have each been an apparatus manufactured for dedicated use in making observations in a gas atmosphere at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure substantially equal thereto. There have existed no devices capable of simply making observations using an ordinary high-vacuum charged particle microscope in a gas atmosphere at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure approximately equal thereto. Furthermore, ordinary techniques have been incapable of observing the same spot of the sample in such an atmosphere using a charged particle beam and light simultaneously. This invention thus provides an apparatus including: a charged particle optical tube that irradiates a sample with a primary charged particle beam; a vacuum pump that evacuates the inside of the charged particle optical tube; a diaphragm arranged to separate a space in which the sample is placed from the charged particle optical tube, the diaphragm being detachable and allowing the primary charged particle beam to permeate or pass therethrough; and an optical microscope positioned on the opposite side of the charged particle optical tube across the diaphragm and the sample, the optical microscope having an optical axis thereof aligned with at least part of an extension of the optical axis of the charged particle optical tube.

    摘要: A method of operating a particle beam microscope includes: directing a particle beam onto a sample and detecting particles emanating from the sample during a first period for generating an image of the sample; generating electrons having a first distribution of kinetic energies and directing these electrons onto the sample during a second period for reducing a charge of the sample being generated while the directing the particle beam onto the sample; and generating electrons having a second distribution of their kinetic energies and directing these electrons onto the sample during a third period for further reducing the charge of the sample being generated while the directing of the particle beam onto the sample. An average value of the kinetic energy of the first distribution of the kinetic energy is greater than an average value of the kinetic energy of the second distribution of kinetic energies.

    摘要: A method and electron microscope system of performing three-dimensional imaging using an electron microscope. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising generating an electron beam, and creating a hollow-cone electron beam (by passing the electron beam through an annular aperture), focusing the hollow-cone electron beam to form a probe, scanning a specimen using the probe; and performing three-dimensional imaging based on the scanning.

    摘要: Disclosed is a transmission interference microscope that provides a degree of freedom to a region being observed while obtaining pure transmission information, and obtains highly-accurate interference images at high magnification under optimized radiation conditions. An electron beam emitted from an electron source 1 is split by a biprism 11 positioned under a converging lens 3, and enters objective lenses 4 as an electron beam 6 passing through a sample and an electron beam 7 passing through a vacuum. The electron beams are bent at the front magnetic fields of the objective lenses 4, and are emitted as a collimated beam in a state in which the sample location and vacuum are each appropriately are left a space.
