    Abstract: A charged particle beam device suppresses sample deformation caused by placing a sample on a suctioning surface of an electrostatic chuck mechanism, the sample having a temperature different from the suctioning surface. The charged particle beam device includes the electrostatic chuck mechanism; a stage (200) which moves a sample, which is to be irradiated with a charged particle beam, relative to an irradiation position of the charged particle beam; an insulating body (203) which is disposed on the stage and constitutes a dielectric layer of the electrostatic chuck; a first support member (402) which supports the insulating body on the stage; a ring-shaped electrode (400) which encloses the surroundings of the sample and is installed on the insulating body in a contactless manner, and to which a predetermined voltage is applied; and a second support member (405) which supports the ring-shaped electrode.

    Abstract: A sample holder reliably holds a liquid or gel sample, and the yield of observation with a charged particle beam device is improved. A sample holder 101 includes a first member 102 that has a lid member 111 and a first chip 105 provided with a first window 123 where a laminated film including a first insulating thin film 104 is formed, and a second member 103 that has a base material 127 having a first bottom seal surface 203 and a second bottom seal surface 200, an electrode 108 disposed on the base material, and a second chip 107 provided with a second window 124 where a second insulating thin film 106 is formed and held on the second bottom seal surface via a second seal material 119 such that the second window faces the electrode, in which a region inside a first seal material is maintained airtightly from a region outside the first seal material by the first member and the second member being combined and the first seal material being crushed between the first bottom seal surface and an upper seal surface of the lid member.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are scientific instrument support systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, an example method may comprise receiving, by a first device located at a premises and from a second device located external to the premises, and via a network, configuration data for a charged particle microscope located at the premises. The method may comprise updating, by the first device and based on the configuration data, one or more configuration settings associated with the charged particle microscope. The method may comprise causing, based on the updated one or more configuration settings, one or more operations associated with the charged particle microscope to be performed.

    Abstract: There is provided a charged particle apparatus comprising: a particle beam generator, optics, a first and a second positioning device, both configured for positioning the substrate relative to the particle beam generator along its optical axis, and a controller configured for switching between a first operational mode and a second operational mode. The apparatus is configured, when operating in the first operational mode, for irradiating the substrate by the particle beam at a first landing energy of the particle beam and, when operating in the second operational mode, for irradiating the substrate at a second, different landing energy. When operating in the first operational mode, the second positioning device is configured to position the substrate relative to the particle beam generator at a first focus position of the particle beam and in the second operational mode, to position the substrate at a second, different focus position.
