Abstract

On a sample base 1 disposed within a vacuum container is provided a scale S(1). . . S(N), where in an actual distance of the sample base is monitored by observing the scale trough an optical system for exclusive use thereof, which can catch it within a field of view.With this, it is possible to position a foreign body, as a target of analysis, which is analyzed or observed by a first analysis/observation device, so that it necessarily falls within a field of view of a second analysis/observation device, thereby realizing quick and automatic delivery of the samples when observing the foreign body on the sample by plural numbers of the devices.
