    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of forming a vitrified sample on a sample holder (112) for inspection in an electron microscope (100, 106).SOLUTION: It is known to spray a solution on a grid and then immerse the grid in a cryogenic liquid, such as ethane or liquid nitrogen. The invention proposes to spray (via a metal needle 118) small droplets of the liquid on a cryogenic surface (112), such as a sample holder or a grid in a vacuum. The liquid forms vitrified sample material (200, 202) when hitting the surface because of the low temperature of the sample holder or the grid. A lamella may be excavated from the thus formed sample material, to be studied in a TEM, or the vitrified sample material may be directly observed in a SEM. In an embodiment, the material may be sprayed on a cryogenic liquid, to be scooped from the liquid and placed on a grid.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method used for obtaining a depth-resolved image from a sample with a charged-particle microscope without the need for multiple times of measurement at various beam energy values.SOLUTION: A method of examining a sample using a charged-particle microscope comprises the steps of: mounting the sample on a sample holder; using a particle-optical column to direct a special radiation beam onto a surface of the sample, thereby producing an interaction that causes radiation emitted from the sample; using a detector arrangement to detect at least a portion of the emitted radiation; recording an output Oof the detector arrangement as a function of the emission angle θof the emitted radiation measured relative to an axis normal to the surface of the sample, thus compiling a measurement data set M={(O, θ)} for a plurality of values of θ; and using a computer processing apparatus to automatically deconvolve the measurement data set M to resolve it into a result set R={(V, L)}.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and structure of adjusting the magnetic field distribution at the incident side and exit side end caps of a mass filter in an E×B mass filter.SOLUTION: Magnetic resistance of a magnetic flux in a return path can be changed by providing a plurality of magnetic shims in a slot provided in the outer diameter of the incident side and exit side end caps, and further providing a plurality of magnetic plug shims in a circular magnetic flux dam surrounding the incident side and exit side apertures. When compared with the conventional adjustment method of an electromagnet, the advantages of adjusting the magnetic field fully mechanically include high reliability, simplification, low cost and saving of power consumption. In order to generate a magnetic field of mass separation, any one of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet can be used.
