    Abstract: A patterning device handling apparatus for use in charged particle beam imaging is disclosed. The disclosed patterning device handling apparatus comprises a first gripping member and a second gripping member. The first gripping member is equipped with a plurality of first positioning projections, and the second gripping member is equipped with a plurality of second positioning projections. When the patterning device is held at one angle, the first positioning projections abut against one edge of the patterning device and the second positioning projections abut against the opposite edge of the patterning device. When the patterning device is held at another angle, the first positioning projections abut against two neighboring edges of the patterning device, and the second positioning projections abut against the other two neighboring edges of the patterning device. Therefore, the disclosed patterning device handling apparatus can hold the pattering device at different angles.

    Abstract: A slider bearing for use with an apparatus comprising a vacuum chamber (11). The slider bearing comprises: a base plate (20) in contact with the vacuum chamber (11) at one side, said base plate showing a first through-hole (21) in contact with the vacuum chamber (11), a second plate (30), one side of the second plate in contact with the base plate (20), said second plate showing a second through-hole (31), the faces of the base plate and the second plate facing each other being sufficiently smooth to form a non-elastomeric vacuum seal, said base plate (20) and said second plate (30) slidable between a first relative position in which the first through-hole (21) and the second through-hole (31) do not overlap and a second relative position in which the first through-hole and the second through-hole overlap, characterised in that the second plate (30) is a flexible plate, the face of the flexible plate opposite to the base plate is equipped to seal against a cup (50), the cup equipped to hold a sample (1), the first through-hole (21) in the base plate shows a rim facing the flexible plate (30) 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 minimise 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, the particle generation is minimized.

    Abstract: There is provided a mini environment type transfer unit which can efficiently transfer a sample to a critical dimension scanning electron microscope (CD-SEM) even in the case of use of a SMIF pod which can store only one photomask. In addition to a load port, a stocker which can store a plurality of photomasks is provided in the mini environment type transfer unit. A mask storage slot in which a plurality of storage units are stacked is provided in the stocker, and one photomask is stored in each storage unit. A sensor is provided in each storage unit to determine whether or not the photomask is normally stored. Additionally, a sensor is provided in each storage unit to detect whether or not the photomask exists.

    Abstract: A system for generating an image of ultrastructural biomarkers from a biological sample is provided. The system includes a grid onto which a sample to be imaged may be placed and a cryogenic reservoir into which the grid and sample may be immersed for vitrification of the sample. The system also includes a stage onto which the grid and sample may be situated for subsequent imaging in a high contrast imager to permit identification of ultrastructural biomarkers therein. A method for generating an image of ultrastructural biomarkers from a biological sample is also provided. The generated image of ultrastructural biomarkers may be used subsequently for screening and monitoring diseases, evaluating drug and therapeutic efficacy, and assessing risks associated with a drug or therapeutic candidate, among other things.
