    Abstract: Provided is a charged particle beam apparatus or charged particle microscope capable of observing an observation target sample in an air atmosphere or a gas environment without making significant changes to the configuration of a conventional high vacuum charged particle microscope. In a charged particle beam apparatus configured such that a thin film (10) is used to separate a vacuum environment and an air atmosphere (or a gas environment), an attachment (121) capable of holding the thin film (10) and whose interior can be maintained at an air atmosphere or a gas environment is inserted into a vacuum chamber (7) of a high vacuum charged particle microscope. The attachment (121) is vacuum-sealed and fixed to a vacuum partition of the vacuum sample chamber. Image quality is further improved by replacing the atmosphere in the attachment with helium or a light-elemental gas that has a lower mass than atmospheric gases such as nitrogen or water vapor.

    Abstract: Increasing the volume or weight of zirconia which is a diffusion and supply source, to extend the life of a field-emission type electron source causes a problem that the diffusion and supply source itself or a tungsten needle is easily subjected to damage. As another problem, although it is considered to form the diffusion and supply source using a thin film to avoid the above-described problem, it is difficult to stably obtain practical life exceeding 8,000 hours. It has been found that practical life exceeding 8,000 hours is stably obtained by providing a field-emission type electron source that has no chips or cracks in a diffusion and supply source and that can extend life with a little bit of an increase in the amount of the diffusion and supply source.

    Abstract: A control device (50) for a charged particle beam device (100) tilts the irradiation axis of a primary electron beam (4) to the left, straight, or to the right via tilting coils (11, 12) each time the primary electron beam (4) scans the surface of a sample (15) over a single scanning line. When the irradiation axis is changed, the focal point of the primary electron beam (4) is adjusted by a focal point-adjusting coil (14) based on the tilt of the irradiation axis in order to take a left-tilted observation image, a non-tilted observation image or a right-tilted observation image of the surface of a sample (15) for each scanning line. The left-tilted observation images, non-tilted observation images and right-tilted observation images for the scanning lines obtained up to this point are simultaneously displayed on the same display device (31). In this way, focused non-tilted observation images and focused tilted observation images can be taken and displayed nearly simultaneously.
