    摘要: A specimen is scanned with an electron beam so as to generate a signal characteristic of the specimen to thereby produce an image thereof on the basis of the generated signal. A memory (102) is provided for storing operating conditions of a scanning electron microscope (107) which are associated with identification information for specifying the specimen. The identification information is designated so that at least one operating condition corresponding to the designated identification information is read out from the memory (102), and the read out operating condition is automatically set so that the scanning electron microscope (107) is operated under the set operating condition.

    摘要: A scanned image to be observed or to be recorded is formed by N two-dimensional scanning cycles of an irradiating charged particle or light beam. In order to adjust the averaged irradiation intensity of the sample, the irradiating beam can be blanked during some of the N cycles.

    摘要: A scanning microscope, such as a scanning electron microscope, has an energy beam (1) which is caused to scan on a sample (4). A detector (6) detects the interaction of the beam (1) with the sample (4) and generates sample image signals which are used to generate a display image (20) of the scanned part of the sample (4). The sample image signals may be stored in an image memory (14) and a part of those sample image signals read to generate the display image. This permits an effective magnification to be achieved without scanning the sample with scanning lines which are too close. Alternatively, or in addition, the beam (1) may be cut intermittently during the scanning, at least for magnifications above a predetermined limit. Where scanning is in a series of frames, each of a series of scanning lines, such cutting may change the interval between frames, the interval between lines, or may cause intermittent cutting within a line. All these reduce the duration of the beam (1) on the sample (4), so reducing the risk of excessive charge build-up.
