Abstract
A device includes sample tray units, a sample tray transporting unit, a sample tray handling unit, and a sample tray radiation stage unit. The sample tray units are configured to load samples. The sample tray transporting unit is configured to carry a sample tray unit to a radiation room. The sample tray handling unit is between the sample tray transporting unit and the sample tray radiation stage unit, and is configured to transfer the sample tray unit on the sample tray transporting unit to the sample tray radiation stage unit or return the sample tray unit on the sample tray radiation stage unit to the sample tray transporting unit. The sample tray radiation stage unit is configured to carry the sample tray unit and move the samples to be irradiated in the sample tray unit to a particle beam radiation area to receive radiation.
