Abstract
In an electron holography apparatus having an electron source, a specimen holder, an electron lens system, and an electron biprism, the electron biprism is so constructed as to be rotatable about the electron optics axis. The rotation angle about the electron optics axis is commanded by the operator of the electron holography apparatus. A central wire of the electron biprism is allowed to be translated in a direction orthogonal to the electron optics axis, thus permitting the application of the fringe scanning method. The center of an aperture is selectively allowed to be aligned with that of the electron biprism to ensure that the measurement apparatus can be used selectively as either the electron holography apparatus or an electron microscope.
