Abstract
An object of the present invention relates to high-resolution observation on a light field STEM, a dark field image STEM, and an EELS, at a low acceleration voltage. The present invention relates to controlling on incorporation angles of a STEM detector and an electron energy loss spectroscopy by changing the disposition of a sample with respect to an optical axis direction of a primary electron beam in a scanning transmission microscopy including an electron energy loss spectroscopy. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily control an optimum scattering angle in each of a light field STEM, a dark field STEM, and an EELS while suppressing occurrence of chromatic aberration accompanying the controlling on the incorporation angle.
