Abstract
Because a sample holderis composed of a plurality of convex partsprovided on a top face of a base substance, and the plurality of convex partsare spherical surfacesformed of a single crystal or amorphous material, frictional wear of the sample at contact parts between a sampleand the convex partsis reduced, thereby making it possible to inhibit particle generation. Further, because a joining layeris formed of a single crystal or amorphous material, there is no defect that particles scattered on the sample holderfill up it, which makes it possible to easily keep it in a clean state by cleaning, and it is possible to effectively reduce reattachment of particles to the sample
