Abstract:
An electronic microscope has a great depth of focus compared with an optical microscope. Thus, information is superimposed in the depth direction in one image. Thus, observation of a three-dimensional structure inside a specimen with use of the electronic microscope requires accurate specification of a three-dimensional position or density of a structure inside the specimen. Furthermore, the specimen on a slide glass that is observed with the optical microscope may not be put in a TEM device in the related art. Thus, a very complicated preparation of the specimen is required for performing three-dimensional internal structure observation, with the electronic microscope, of a location that is observed with the optical microscope.Provided is a charged particle beam device including a charged particle optical column that irradiates a specimen with a primary charged particle beam, and a specimen base rotating unit that is capable of rotating the specimen base in a state of an angle formed by a surface of the specimen base and an optical axis of the primary charged particle beam being inclined to a non-perpendicular angle, in which the specimen base is configured to include a detecting element that detects a charged particle scattered or transmitted inside the specimen, and transmitted charged particle images of the specimen corresponding to each angle is acquired by irradiating the specimen in a state of the specimen base rotating unit being rotated at a plurality of different angles.
