Abstract

A microscope includes: an electronic optical column configured to emit scanning electron beams; a specimen stage configured to place a specimen; a target movably disposed between the electronic optical column and the specimen stage; and a driving mechanism for driving the target to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is a position at which the electron beams act on the specimen, and the second position is a position at which the electron beams act on the target to generate X-rays irradiating the specimen. In the present disclosure, through one time mounting of the specimen, the microscope enables the dual-function detection of the specimen, i.e., detection of the specimen by an SEM and detection of the specimen by a Nano-CT.
