Patent number: 10297416Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to be able to acquire high-resolution images in a scanning electron microscope using a combination of a cold cathode (CFE) electron source and a boosting process, even at low accelerating voltage enhancing the current stability of the CFE electron source. A configuration in which a CFE electron source (101), an anode electrode (103) at positive (+) potential, and an insulator (104) for isolating the anode electrode (103) from ground potential are accommodated within a single vacuum chamber (105), and an ion pump (106) and a non-evaporable getter (NEG) pump (107) are connected to the vacuum chamber (105), is employed.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Toshihide Agemura, Masashi Sasaki, Daisuke Kobayashi, Shunsuke Sato

Patent number: 10259624Abstract: An annular protruding portion (17) is provided around an inner plug (13) at a radial interval on an annular horizontal wall portion (20) of a cap body 4. Between an annular flange portion (43a) of the inner plug (13) and the annular protruding portion (17), an annular accumulating groove portion (33) is provided. Particularly in the case of a liquid content, the liquid content may be scattered from within a cylindrical guide portion (42) when a lid member (5) is placed after use. The liquid content, however, is blocked by the annular protruding portion (17) and prevented from flowing further outward, while interfering with a top surface portion (51) and a cylindrical scattering suppression portion (55) of the lid member (5). Thus, downward flow of the liquid content along the outer wall surface of the annular horizontal wall portion (20) of a main cap member (11) can be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignees: TOKYO LIGHT INDUSTRY CO., LTD., KYORAKU CO., LTD.Inventors: Takaaki Sakimura, Masashi Sasaki, Masashi Mizuochi, Hajime Sasaki, Satoshi Ichikawa
