Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stage assembly that allows a sample to be more uniformly treated in a dual-beam particle optical apparatus. SOLUTION: The stage assembly includes a first source for generating a first irradiating beam E along a first axis A1; a second source for generating a second irradiating beam I along a second axis A2 that intersects the first axis at a beam intersection point; a sample table 21 on which a sample can be mounted; and a set of actuators arranged to effect translation of the sample table along directions substantially parallel to an X-axis that is perpendicular to a reference plane, a Y-axis parallel to the reference plane, and a Z-axis parallel to the reference plane. The set of actuators is further arranged to effect rotation of the sample table 21 about a rotation axis RA substantially parallel to the Z-axis and rotation of the sample table about a flip axis FA substantially perpendicular to the Z-axis.

Abstract:
A device for holding a specimen holder, the device including a body with a slot formed therein. The slot includes an interior for receiving the specimen holder which may be a flat disk with edges and a pair of opposing sides. The disk may be made of a resilient deformable material. The slot may be sized to receive the specimen holder through an open top end and may taper from top bottom, such that the bottom end of the slot is smaller than the specimen holder. The slot further configured to contact the specimen holder along edges of the specimen holder and to allow some sideways deformation of the specimen holder without either side of the specimen holder distant from the edges coming into contact with the interior of the slot.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To observe and inspect with higher resolution in SEM (scanning electron microscopy) or TEM (transmission electron microscopy). SOLUTION: The sample holder 150 has a frame-like member 150a provided with an opening 150b that is covered with a film 150c. The film 150c has a first surface on which a sample 315 is held. A thickness D of the film 150c and a peripheral length L of a portion of the film 150c which covers the opening 150b in the frame-like member 150a satisfy a relationship given by L/D
