Abstract
A micro-manipulation method enables micro-objects to be handled as desired with excellent repeatability when using microscopes that radiate electron beams and use secondary, reflected and transmitted electron signals to magnify objects for observation. For micro-manipulation of micro-objects with a micro-handling tool under electron beam irradiation of an electron microscope, there is a means to adjust the accelerating voltage of the electron beam, the potential of the micro-handling tool and the potential of the work substrate, thereby enabling the effective pick up and release of micro-objects with the micro-handling tool.
