Abstract

The composition change and strained structure in a heterointerface or thin film of a multilayer thin film specimen are observed. When the composition change and strained structure are observed, comparison between a dark-field image and a bright-field image and comparison between two dark-field images are required. The position of an objective aperture disposed between the specimen and a detector is moved rapidly so that diffracted wave or transmitted wave corresponding to the dark-field image or bright-field image of a desired plane index is transmitted. As a result, the dark-field image or bright-field image of a desired plane index can be observed correspondingly to the position of the objective aperture.
