SOLUTION: With the help of a means of inputting a space size or a distance d an operator wishes to observe, and by calculating observation conditions alleviating influence of high contrast and superposed false images based on the values, desired modulation is applied on acceleration voltage or the like of the electron microscope.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an interference microscope image of a multi-stage electron beam biprism by an electromagnetic lens system with the same number as the one-stage electron beam biprism without drop of operation flexibility of the multi-stage electron beam biprism. SOLUTION: An upper-stage electron beam biprism is arranged at further upstream side in a progress direction of an electron beam than a specimen, and an image of the electron beam biprism is formed on the specimen (on an object plane) with the use of an imaging action of an upstream side magnetic field of an objective lens. Then, a double-biprism interference optical system is constructed of a lower-stage electron beam biprism arranged downstream side of the objective lens up to the first image plane of the specimen. No new electromagnetic lens needs to be added in this optical system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that, since an objective lens having the most important role in electromagnetic lenses used for an electron microscope achieves a short focal length by a large exciting current to perform high spatial resolution, on the other hand, in case if it is used for dimension instrumentation, reproducibility of image forming condition is insufficient due to magnetic hysteresis, as well as observation in a low magnification of about 200 to 2,000 times is difficult, and also, since the specimen is disposed in a magnetic field generated in the objective lens, the specimen is observed in a state of being always immersed in a magnetic field. SOLUTION: The electron beam observation device includes a mechanism which disposes a specimen at an upstream side in an electron beam traveling direction outside an objective lens, from which an image is transferred under a magnification of 1/5 to 1/30, in addition to an inside of the objective lens in which a specimen is disposed at a time of ordinary observation.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in which an electron beam holography observation using a transmission type electron microscope has a complicated condition search of an electron optical system for achieving a required space resolution, and takes a long time for a person who is not familiar with the operation of an electron microscope. SOLUTION: In addition to a basic electron microscope, this device comprises means for inputting a required space resolution in a holography observation, a calculating device for calculating an electron beam bi-prism and a specimen position for realizing a required space resolution from an input value and a parameter unique to the device, and a mechanism for moving these two positions for realizing the found calculation results.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent any microdischarge from developing into a big discharge by forming a contact part to become relatively negative in a salient shape while providing a groove on the salient step part in the depth direction of an electric field. CONSTITUTION:In an acceleration tube, the sectional shape of a top junction part, located on the reletively negative side, is made salient and the cylindrical insulating members 10 are soldered on a salient top surface part, a salient projection part side surface, and on the inside and the bottom surfaces of a groove. These insulating members 10, in which each one part of them is in contact with a high-voltage side conductive member and the other part of them is in contact with a low-voltage conductive member, have conductive coatings 12 while being piled up through conductive members 11. The inner diameter and the outer diameter of the member 11 are eccentric, and an acceleration electrode 3 is mounted on its vacuum inside while a discharge preventive electrode is mounted on its outside. Further, divided resistances 9 are mounted in a wide interval between this member 10 and the electrode 4 so as to impress divided acceleration voltages on respective stages of an ecceleration tube. Then, a generated microcurrent passes through a part on which an electric field in the inverse direction is imposed in order to pass the surface of the member 10 to reach the other end. Thereby, the microcurrent is prevented from developing in a big dis-charge.
