Abstract
A metallic plate holderis directly placed on a flat bottom plateof a sample chamber. A linear guideextending in x-direction is located below the bottom plate. Another linear guideextending in y-direction is fixed to a movable partof the linear guide. A magnet, fixed to a movable partof the linear guide, magnetically attracts the plate holder across the bottom plate. When the magnet is two-dimensionally driven by the linear guides, the plate holder follows it and moves two-dimensionally. The flat bottom plate limits the z-position of the plate holder, thereby reducing the fluctuation in the level of the sample on a sample platedue to the movement. Thus, the variation in the level at different positions on the sample plate is reduced, so that the number of times of a calibrant measurement can be decreased.
