Abstract: A scanning electron microscope and a method for evaluating a sample, the method may include (a) illuminating the sample with a primary electron beam, (b) directing secondary electrons emitted from the sample and propagated above a first scintillator, towards an upper portion of the first scintillator, wherein the first scintillator and a second scintillator are positioned between the sample and a column electrode of the column; wherein the first scintillator is positioned above the second scintillator; (c) detecting the secondary electrons by the first scintillator; (d) directing backscattered electrons emitted from the sample towards a lower portion of the second scintillator; and (e) detecting the backscattered electrons by the second scintillator.

Abstract: An energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) sensing unit, the EDX sensing unit include a protective unit and an x-ray sensor that includes one or more sensing regions. The protective unit is configured to (i) introduce a change in one or more properties of electrons emitted from a sample, thereby preventing the electrons emitted from the sample from reaching the one or more sensing regions, the electrons are emitted from the sample due to an illuminating of the sample by a primary electron beam, and (ii) increase a safety of operation of the EDX sensing unit. The x-ray sensor is configured to (i) receive, by the one or more sensing regions, x-ray photons emitted from the sample due to the illuminating of the sample, and (ii) generate detection signals indicative of the x-ray photons.
