摘要:
In a soft X-ray microscope including a soft X-ray source for emitting soft X-rays, a condenser lens for focusing the soft X-rays onto a specimen under inspection, an objective lens for focusing soft X-rays emanating from the specimen, a soft X-ray detector for receiving the soft X-rays focused by the objective lens, and a visually observing optical system for forming a visible image of the specimen by converting an optical property of the specimen other than contrast and color into a contrast in brightness or color. The visually observing optical system may be formed as phase contrast microscope, dark field microscope, polarizing microscope, differential interference microscope, or fluorescent microscope. Then, alignment and focus adjustment can be performed by observing the visible image of the specimen without irradiating the specimen with the soft X-rays even if the specimen has substantially no contrast and color.
摘要:
A sample vessel for X-ray microscopes comprising a first silicon base plate having an entrance window covered with a thin film of silicon nitride, and a second silicon base plate which has an exit window covered with a thin film of silicon nitride and matched with the entrance window. The second silicon base plate being connected the first base plate by way of a spacer so as to form a sealed space capable of accommodating samples to be observed. Disposed in the space is a mesh member made of a wire material having an angle of contact with water smaller than 90.degree. at a location adjacent to the thin film of silicon nitride covering the entrance window or a thin film of aluminium is evaporation-coated over the thin film of silicon nitride. This sample vessel makes it possible to enhance mechanical strength of the thin film of silicon nitride and limits shifting of samples within very narrow ranges with water films formed in meshes of the mesh member, thereby remarkably facilitating observation of the samples with X-rays and soft X-rays.

A soft X-ray detector includes a surface electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a semiconductor detector having an electrode connected to the photoelectric conversion layer, for detecting an electric charge produced In the photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion layer and the surface electrode layer have thicknesses satisfying conditionsdA.gtoreq.0.183.lambda./KAdB.ltoreq.0.183.lambda./KBwhere dA is a thickness of the photoelectric conversion layer, dB is a thickness of the surface electrode layer, KA is an extinction coefficient of radiation of a wavelength .lambda. in a substance constituting the photoelectric conversion layer, and KB is an extinction coefficient of radiation of the wavelength .lambda.in a substance constituting the surface electrode layer. Thus, the soft X-ray detector has a high sensitivity to soft X rays and a lower sensitivity to visible light, so that only soft X rays can be selectively detected. Further, the detector has two kinds of pixels, with one kind sensitive to soft X-rays and the other kind sensitive to visible light. In addition, the detector includes a plurality of pixels, to which the surface electrode layer is divided to correspond so that it has a plurality of regions to obtain a desired wavelength.

A vacuum optical system has a vacuum chamber for housing an optical system used in a vacuum. The vacuum chamber is equipped with a member, on which the optical system is at least mounted, supported by such parts that when a pressure in the vacuum chamber changes to deform the vacuum chamber, the amount of displacement transmitted to the optical system is smaller than a predetermined tolerance depending on an accuracy necessary for the optical system. Thus, the vacuum optical system can be obtained which does away with the need for readjustment of optical alignment and is compact.
