    Abstract: In an image acquisition system, a distortion distribution is easily measured in a wide range. A standard image of magnetic domain of a sample serving as a standard is acquired by radiation of light using a standard external magnetic field which serves as a standard, a plurality of magnetic domain images are acquired in a state where an external magnetic field is applied while being changed, a plurality of subtraction images obtained by subtracting the standard image of magnetic domain from each of the plurality of magnetic domain images are acquired, a magnetization reversal area in which a magnetic domain is reversed is extracted from each of the plurality of subtraction images, and a composite image having a plurality of magnetization reversal areas is acquired by compositing the plurality of subtraction images each having the magnetization reversal area.

    Abstract: A device including an imaging-type or a projection-type ion detection system and being capable of performing observation or inspection at high speed with an ultrahigh resolution in a sample observation device using an ion beam is provided. The device includes a gas field ion source that generates an ion beam, an irradiation optical system that irradiates a sample with the ion beam, a potential controller that controls an accelerating voltage of the ion beam and a positive potential to be applied to the sample and an ion detection unit that images or projects ions reflected from the sample as a microscope image, in which the potential controller includes a storage unit storing a first positive potential allowing the ion beam to collide with the sample and a second positive potential for reflecting the ion beam before allowing the ion beam to collide with the sample.

    Abstract: To provide a scanning probe microscope capable of easily determining a measurement location even when a numerical aperture of an objective lens is relatively large. The scanning probe microscope comprises: a probe which scans a sample; a light source which irradiates the probe with excitation light via an objective lens; and a detector which detects fluorescence generated at the probe. The scanning probe microscope further includes: a reflective member arranged between the objective lens and the sample; and an imaging device which images a reflecting surface of the reflective member.

    Abstract: Provided is an optical system which can adjust, including increase, a spin polarization degree of an electron beam. Disclosed is a charged particle device having a charged particle source which generates charged particles, a sample table on which a sample is placed, and a transport optical system which is disposed between the charged particle source and the sample table and transports the charged particles as charged particle flux toward the sample table. In this device, the transport optical system includes a magnetic field generating section which generates a magnetic field having a vertical component to a course of the charged particle flux, an electric field generating section which generates an electric field having a vertical component to the course of the charged particle flux, and a shielding section which shields at least a part of the charged particle flux passed through the magnetic field generating section and the electric field generating section. Moreover, the vertical component of the magnetic field has a magnetic field gradient, and the vertical component of the electric field gives an electrostatic force in a direction opposite to a Lorentz force received by the charged particle flux.

    Abstract: The outer shape and size of a diffraction grating including an edge dislocation is made smaller than the irradiation areas of light waves and electromagnetic waves, by using an opener different from in the diffraction grating, the shape and size of the opening is superposed on the shape of a spiral wave that is generated by an edge dislocation diffraction grating, and the shape and size of the opening are reflected in the shape and size of the spiral wave on the diffractive surface. In addition, not only a diffraction grating system including a pair of a single opener and a single diffraction grating, but also a diffraction grating system in which plural openers and plural edge dislocation diffraction gratings are combined are used, and plural spiral waves can be generated on the diffractive surface with a higher degree of freedom.
