    Abstract: Provided is a charged particle beam source having an emitter that can be replaced easily. The charged particle beam source includes an electron gun chamber; a first unit including both a supportive insulative member mechanically supporting a cable and a first set of terminals electrically connected to the cable; and a second unit including both the emitter that releases charged particles and a second set of terminals electrically connected to the emitter. The chamber has a side wall provided with a through-hole in which the first unit is secured. The second unit can be detachably mounted to the first unit. Within the chamber, the emitter is placed on an optical axis, so that the first and second sets of terminals are brought into contact with each other.

    Abstract: An image processing method includes: acquiring an optical microscope image of a specimen; acquiring a transmission electron microscope image of the specimen having been thinned; and superimposing the optical microscope image on the transmission electron microscope image and causing a display section to display the superimposed images, and in superimposing the optical microscope image on the transmission electron microscope image and causing the display section to display the superimposed images, the optical microscope image is distorted to match a field of view of the optical microscope image with a field of view of the transmission electron microscope image.

    Abstract: A holder includes a first sub holder configured to hold a primary specimen, and a second sub holder configured to hold a support member. The primary specimen is processed in a first state where the holder is disposed within a first specimen processing apparatus. Subsequently, in a second state where the holder is disposed within a second specimen processing apparatus, a secondary specimen is prepared from the primary specimen, the secondary specimen is moved onto the support member, and a thin film specimen is prepared from the secondary specimen.

    Abstract: A retainer is placed on a retainer holding portion formed on a sample chip worktable. With an operation of a button, a take-out support mechanism operates. That is, an upthrust pin moves upward. With this process, an orientation of a sample chip stored in the retainer is changed from a horizontal orientation to an inclined orientation. A plurality of openings through which the upthrust pin passes are formed in the retainer.
