Abstract: A spin device includes: a first condenser lens which focuses a spin polarized electron beam discharged from an electron gun or reflected on a sample; a spin rotator which includes a multipole having a point to which the electron beam is focused by the first condenser lens at a lens center or in the vicinity of the lens center and being capable of generating an electric field and a magnetic field; a Wien condition generating means which applies a voltage and a current which satisfy the Wien condition for rotating spin of the electron beam by a designated angle and making the electron beam advance straightly to the multipole which constitutes the spin rotator; and a second condenser lens which focuses the electron beam whose spin is rotated by the spin rotator.

Abstract: A high-density recording scanning microscope in which a beam of charged particles finely focused scans the surface of a sample at a high density of, at least, 8,000 scannings, a signal thus detected is converted into a digital signal, and the digital signal is used for directly printing an image of high definition, high gradation and wide view. The signal of a scanning image at a very high density of, at least, 8,000 pixels×8,000 pixels in a scanning electron microscope, is converted into a digital signal, for example, a color image, and the image is directly printed, thereby to realize the observation of a very clear image of high definition, high gradation and wide view having hitherto been nonexistent.
