    Abstract: Conventional devices have been difficult to use due to insufficient consideration being given to factors such as the cost necessary for diaphragm replacement and the convenience of the work. In the present invention, a diaphragm mounting member installed in a charged particle beam device for radiating a primary charged particle beam through a diaphragm separating a vacuum space and an atmospheric pressure space onto a sample placed in the atmospheric pressure space is provided with a diaphragm installation portion to which a TEM membrane is mounted and a casing fixing portion mounted on a casing of the charged particle beam device. The diaphragm installation portion has a positioning structure for positioning a platform on which the diaphragm is held.

    Abstract: The present invention is intended to reduce drift in a sample which occurs because of distortion in an O-ring which seals off from the atmosphere a sample chamber in which vacuum is retained. Provided is an electron microscope, wherein a sample holder (2) is inserted in a column (1), comprising: an O-ring (4) which makes airtight the column (1) of the electron microscope and the sample holder (2); a slider tube (30) which slides in the longitudinal direction of the sample holder (2) and positions the sample holder in the longitudinal direction; a bellows (32) which makes airtight the slider tube (30) and the column (1); a means (10) for driving the slider (30) in the longitudinal direction of the sample holder (2); and a holder umping part (40) which positions the sample holder (2) in the longitudinal direction. The electron microscope further comprises a sample movement device which has an elastic material (31) which connects the holder umping part (40) and the slider tube (30).

    Abstract: An apparatus for loading a sample into a particle-optical instrument that includes a slider bearing having a base plate in contact with the vacuum chamber at one side, said base plate showing a first through-hole in contact with the vacuum chamber, and a second plate, one side of the second plate in contact with the base plate, said second plate also showing a through-hole, where the faces of the base plate and the second plate facing each other are sufficiently smooth to form a non-elastomeric vacuum seal and where the second plate is a flexible plate and the face of the flexible plate opposite to the base plate is equipped to seal against a cup equipped to hold a sample. Preferably the through-hole in the base plate shows a rim facing the flexible plate with a controlled curvature, the curvature of the rim formed such that the vacuum seal between the base plate and the flexible plate forms on a pre-defined contour and that the Hertzian contact pressure is smaller than a pre-defined maximum contact pressure, the pre-determined maximum contact pressure chosen to minimize particle generation. By forming the second plate as a flexible plate the pressure with which the base plate and the second plate are pressed together is better reproducible than when both plates are rigid. By forming the rim with a controlled radius, particle generation is minimized.
