    摘要: A scanning transmission electron microscope that scans a specimen with an electron probe to acquire an image. The scanning transmission electron microscope includes: an optical system which includes a condenser lens and an objective lens; an imaging device which is arranged on a back focal plane or a plane conjugate to the back focal plane of the objective lens and which is capable of photographing a Ronchigram; and a control unit which performs adjustment of the optical system. The control unit is configured or programed to: acquire an image of a change in a Ronchigram that is attributable to a change in a relative positional relationship between the specimen and the electron probe; and determine a center of the Ronchigram based on the image of the change in the Ronchigram.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a combination of two existing approaches for mineral analysis and makes use of the Similarity Metric Invention, that allows mineral definitions to be described in theoretical compositional terms, meaning that users are not required to find examples of each mineral, or adjust rules. This system allows untrained operators to use it, as opposed to previous systems, which required extensive training and expertise.
