Abstract

Disclosed here is a high resolution scanning electron microscope having an in-lens type objective lens. The microscope is structured so as to detect transmission electrons scattering at wide angles to observe high contrast STEM images according to each sample and purpose.A dark-field detector is disposed closely to the objective lens magnetic pole. The microscope is provided with means for moving the dark-field detector along a light axis so as to control the scattering angle of each detected dark-field signal.
