Abstract

An ion beam processing system (100) processes the sample (S) mounted on a sample stage (30) by irradiating the sample with an ion beam in a sample chamber (2). The system has a sample container (20) including a cover portion (26) formed to be detachably mountable to a base portion (24), the sample stage (30) on which the container (20) is detachably mountable, and cover mounting/dismounting apparatus (40) for mounting and dismounting the cover portion (26) from outside the sample chamber (2).
