    Abstract: The present invention provides means and corresponding embodiments to control charge-up in an electron beam apparatus, which can eliminate the positive charges soon after being generated on the sample surface within a frame cycle of imaging scanning. The means are to let some or all of secondary electrons emitted from the sample surface return back to neutralize positive charges built up thereon so as to reach a charge balance within a limited time period. The embodiments use control electrodes to generate retarding fields to reflect some of secondary electrons with low kinetic energies back to the sample surface.

    Abstract: An electron microscope is offered which has a detector and a noise canceling circuit whose offset can be easily adjusted if any information about the offset of the detector is not available. Also, a method of adjusting this microscope is offered. The method of adjusting the electron microscope (1) starts with measuring the output voltage from a preamplifier (20) at given timing while blocking the electron beam transmitted through a sample (14) from hitting the detector (15) (step S140). An offset voltage to be set into the noise canceling circuit (30) is calculated based on the measured output voltage from the preamplifier (20) (step S150). The calculated offset voltage is set into the noise canceling circuit (30) (step S160).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a composite structure of a sample carrier 20 and a sample holder 30 for use in a TEM, for example. The sample carrier is hereby separately embodied from the sample holder. Although such compositions are already known, the known compositions are very fragile constructions. The sample carrier according to the invention can be formed from a strip of metal, and is a simple and cheap element. Using resilient force, it clamps onto or into the sample holder. The portion of the sample holder to which the sample carrier couples also has a simple form. The sample carrier can couple to the sample holder in vacuum using a coupling tool.
