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 is provided for storing operating conditions of a scanning electron microscope which are associated with identification information for specifying the specimen. The identification information is designated so that thereby at least one operating condition corresponding to the designated identification information is read out from the memory, and the read out operating condition is automatically set so that the scanning electron microscope is operated under the set operating condition.

摘要： A sample is mounted on a support table adjacent a probe of a scanning tunnelling microscope, the support table permitting the sample to move relative to the probe. The probe is also movable in a direction generally perpendicular to the sample surface, between a withdrawn position and a scanning separation. A scanning electron microscope is located adjacent the sample and probe, and its electron beam scans both the sample and the probe and generates an image on a display from electrons from the sample detected by a detector. In order that that operator can position the probe on a target of a sample, for scanning by the probe, a marker is generated on the display by a graphics display unit, which marker indicates the probe-to-sample separation and preferably indicates the probe-to-sample approach point and the direction of movement of the probe towards the sample. The graphics display unit may alternatively, or in addition, generate a marker representing the scan area of the probe when it is moved to a scanning separation from the sample.

摘要： A stage comprises a linear guide rail (2) for guiding a movable table (4), a driven bar (12), a linear drive actuator in contact with the driven bar (12) to transmit driving force to the driven bar (12), and parallel plate springs (30) for holding opposite ends of the driven bar (12). A drive transmitting surface of the linear drive actuator is provided so as to be separated from the movable table (4), and this prevents the accuracy of positioning from being reduced. Also, the parallel springs (30) reduce deforming forces applied to sections supporting the driven bar (12), and this prevents the driven bar from being damaged. The configuration makes the stage highly accurate and highly reliable.

The apparatus includes a probe image processing unit to display the plural probes on a display; a selecting unit to select, from the probes displayed on the display, a probe to be operated; and a display unit to simultaneously display the probe selecting unit and information indicating that the selected probe is an operable probe, or the probe is in a non-selected state.
