Title:
OBSERVATION DEVICE FOR GAS UNDER OBSERVATION, METHOD OF OBSERVING IONS UNDER OBSERVATION, AND SAMPLE HOLDER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/251026
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are an observation device, an observation method for a gas under observation, and a sample holder that can be suitably used, with which a sample holder, onto which a thin-plate sample has been integrally installed, can be moved independently within an analysis chamber. This observation device is equipped with: a scanning electron microscope (15) for detecting secondary electrons produced by irradiating a sample (17) with an electron beam within an analysis chamber (11); a sample holder (12) that comprises a cell (12c) for accommodating a gas under observation and an opening window (W) of the cell (12c), and that also includes a sample loading section (12b) to which the sample (17) can be placed with the opening window (W) closed; and an ion-under-observation detection unit (20) for irradiating a front surface of the sample (17) with an electron beam in a state where the gas under observation of the cell (12c) is in contact with a reverse surface of the sample (17), and detecting ions under observation arising due to the gas under observation, the ions being produced by the electron beam. The entirety of a hydrogen cell (12c) can be sealed off in a state where the gas under observation is accommodated in the cell and the sample (17) is placed in the sample loading section (12b) of the sample holder.
