Abstract: An FIB system includes an ion source for producing the ion beam, a lens system which includes an objective lens and which is operative to focus the ion beam onto a sample such that secondary electrons are produced from the sample, a detector for detecting the secondary electrons, and a controller for controlling the lens system. The controller operates i) to provide control so that a focus of the ion beam is varied by directing the ion beam onto the sample, ii) to measure a signal intensity from the secondary electrons produced from the sample during the variation of the strength of the objective lens, iii) to adjust the focus of the ion beam, iv) to acquire a secondary electron image containing an image of a trace of a spot, and v) to correct the deviation of the field of view of the ion beam.

Abstract: There is provided an electrically driven vehicle equipped with a first motor configured to output a torque to one of front wheels and rear wheels and with a second motor configured to output a torque to the other of the front wheels and the rear wheels. When a torque of a negative value is required as a required torque that is required for driving, the second motor is controlled to output the torque with a lower limit torque of a positive value as a lower limit, and the first motor is controlled such that the electrically driven vehicle is driven with the required torque.
