摘要: In an electron microscope having a magnetic field immersion type cold-FE electron gun, the electron gun and the electron microscope are provided with high observation efficiency and the focal distance of the electron gun does not change during use. The degree of vacuum in the electron gun is improved with a getter pump for stabilization. Further, observation efficiency is improved by cleaning the electron source periodically and returning to recorded optical conditions on the occasion.

摘要: In a beam irradiation device of the present invention, laser beams emitted from a semiconductor laser impinge on an irradiation lens supported by a lens actuator. The laser beams that have passed through the irradiation lens change in outgoing angle in the direction of a y-z plane as the lens actuator is driven. A laser beam scan in the target region is thus performed. A part of the laser beams that have passed through the irradiation lens is reflected and separated by a beam splitter. The separated beams are converged on a PSD through a converging lens. A DSP control circuit monitors a scan position of the laser beams that have passed through the irradiation lens based on a signal from the PSD. When an irradiation position has deviated from a scan trajectory, the DSP control circuit controls an actuator driving circuit to draw the irradiation position back onto the scan trajectory. This beam irradiation device can realize a smooth and stable beam scan operation with a simple construction.

摘要: A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has an electron source for generating a primary electron beam and an electron illuminating lens system for converging the primary electron beam from the electron source onto a specimen for illumination. An electron deflecting system is provided for scanning the specimen with the primary electron beam. The STEM also has a scattered electron detector for detecting scattered electrons transmitted through the specimen. A projection lens system projects the scattered electrons onto a detection surface of the scattered electron detector. An image displaying device displays the scanning transmission electron microscope image of the specimen using a detection signal from the scattered electron detector. A detection angle changing device for establishes the range of the scattering angle of the scattered electrons detected by the scattered electron detector.
