Abstract:
A charged particle beam device allowing an analysis position in a sample analyzable with an EBSD detector to be acquired beforehand, and allowing a sample to be adjusted to a desired analysis position in a short time. A charged particle beam device is provided with a charged particle source (111), a charged particle optical system (115), an EBSD detector (101), a sample stage (116), an image display unit (117) for displaying a portion of the sample observable with the EBSD detector and a non-observable portion of the sample such that said portions are distinguished from each other, an operation input unit (121) where a position to be observed by the EBSD detector is entered, and a control unit (118) for controlling a planar movement, an inclination movement and a rotation movement of the sample stage so as to allow the observation position entered from the operation input unit to be observed with the EBSD detector.
