    Abstract: Provided is a charged particle beam system capable of preventing the data acquisition time from increasing. A control method for the system is also provided. The charged particle beam system includes: a beam blanker for blanking a charged particle beam; a sample stage on which a sample is tiltably held and thus can assume a tilt angle; a blanking controller for controlling the blanking of the charged particle beam and causing a pulsed beam having a duty ratio to be directed at the sample; and a tilt controller for controlling the tilt angle of the sample. The blanking controller sets the duty ratio of the pulsed beam based on the tilt angle of the sample.

    Abstract: A detector (100) is used to detect a charged particle beam (EB), and includes a first light emission portion (10) for converting the charged particle beam into light, a second light emission portion (20) for converting the charged particle beam transmitted through the first light emission portion (10) into light, and a light detector (30) for detecting the light produced by the first light emission portion (10) and the light produced by the second light emission portion (20). The first light emission portion (10) is a powdered scintillator. The second light emission portion (20) is a single crystal scintillator.

    Abstract: An electron microscope includes an irradiation optical system that focuses electron beams and scans a specimen with the focused electron beams; a deflector that deflects the electron beams transmitted through the specimen; a detector that detects the electron beams transmitted through the specimen; and a control unit that controls the irradiation optical system and the deflector The control unit causes the irradiation optical system to scan the specimen with the electron beams so that the electron beams have a plurality of irradiation positions on the specimen. The control unit causes the deflector to repeatedly deflect the electron beams transmitted through each of the irradiation positions, so that a plurality of electron beams which have the same irradiation position and different incident angle ranges with respect to the specimen are caused to sequentially enter the detector.

    Abstract: A contamination prevention irradiation device includes a generation unit and a mirror unit. The generation unit generates a laser beam. The mirror unit has a mirror surface for reflecting a laser beam. The laser beam reflected on the mirror surface is applied to a specimen disposed inside an objective lens. The laser beam is composed of a pulse train. Once a laser beam is applied to the specimen before observation of the specimen, deposition of contaminants on the specimen can be prevented for a predetermined subsequent period.
