    Abstract: In a scanning electron microscope, an atmospheric pressure space having a specimen arranged therein and a vacuum space arranged on a charged particle optical system side are isolated from each other using an isolation film that transmits charged particle beams. The scanning electron microscope has an electron optical lens barrel, a chassis, and an isolation film. The electron optical lens barrel radiates a primary electron beam onto a specimen. The chassis is directly bonded to the inside of the electron optical lens barrel and has an inside that turns into a lower vacuum state than the inside of the electron optical lens barrel at least during the radiation of the primary electron beam. The isolation film isolates a space in an atmospheric pressure atmosphere having a specimen mounted therein and the inside of the chassis in a lower vacuum state, and transmits the primary charged particle beam.

    Abstract: Conventional devices have been difficult to use due to insufficient consideration being given to factors such as the cost necessary for diaphragm replacement and the convenience of the work. In the present invention, a diaphragm mounting member installed in a charged particle beam device for radiating a primary charged particle beam through a diaphragm separating a vacuum space and an atmospheric pressure space onto a sample placed in the atmospheric pressure space is provided with a diaphragm installation portion to which a TEM membrane is mounted and a casing fixing portion mounted on a casing of the charged particle beam device. The diaphragm installation portion has a positioning structure for positioning a platform on which the diaphragm is held.

    Abstract: There is provided a charged particle beam apparatus having the function of permitting observation of a sample in a gas atmosphere or in a liquid state, the apparatus being intended to let a dry sample be observed as it is getting saturated with an introduced liquid and to prevent a charged particle beam from getting scattered by an unwanted liquid introduced between a diaphragm and the sample. This invention provides a structure including an inlet-outlet part (300) that brings in and out a desired liquid or gas in the direction of the underside or the side of the sample (6), the structure being arranged so that the sample (6) is irradiated with a primary charged particle beam while the sample (6) and the diaphragm (10) are kept out of contact with each other.

    Abstract: The current invention includes methods and apparatuses for processing, that is, altering and imaging, a sample in a high pressure charged particle beam system. Embodiments of the invention include a cell in which the sample is positioned during high pressure charged particle beam processing. The cell reduces the amount of gas required for processing, thereby allowing rapid introduction, exhaustion, and switching between gases and between processing and imaging modes. Maintaining the processes gases within the cell protects the sample chamber and column from contact with the gases. In some embodiments, the temperature of the cell walls and the sample can be controlled.
