  • Patent number: 11508047
    Abstract: Even if a generated wide-field image includes residual local misalignment, this charged particle microscope device can prompt for user input to correct such local misalignment, and can regenerate, on the basis of the user input, a wide-field image that includes little misalignment even in local areas of the overlap regions thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2022
    Assignee: HITACHI HIGH-TECH CORPORATION

  • Publication number: 20220351935
    Abstract: Provided is a method for adjusting a field-of-view of a charged particle microscope device, in which reference data for a sample is set, a plurality of regions of interest are set for the reference data, a rough sampling coordinate group is set for each of the plurality of regions of interest, the sample is irradiated with charged particles based on the sampling coordinate group to obtain a corresponding pixel value group, a plurality of reconstructed images corresponding to the plurality of regions of interest are generated based on the pixel value group, a correspondence relationship among the plurality of regions of interest is estimated based on the plurality of reconstructed images, and the plurality of regions of interest are adjusted based on the correspondence relationship. Here, the sampling coordinate group is set based on the reference data.

  • Patent number: 9824853
    Abstract: In order to enable high-speed imaging of a wide-field image, the imaging method using the electron microscope comprises: irradiating and scanning a wide-field region of the sample with a low-dose amount of electron beam, and acquiring a wide-field image of the sample; setting, from this wide-field image, a narrow-field region; irradiating and scanning this narrow-field region with a high-dose amount of the electron beam, and acquiring a narrow-field image of the sample; determining the noise-removal parameters for the acquired wide-field image and narrow-field image; performing image quality improvement processing on the wide-field image and the narrow-field image; performing drift correction on the narrow-field image undergone the image quality improvement processing; and combining the narrow-field image undergone this drift correction and the wide-field image in such a manner that the visibility of each is at the same level throughout the entirety of the combined image.

  • Patent number: 9495025
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a device includes: a display unit for displaying a screen; a sensor for detecting an inclination of the display unit; an operating unit for detecting an operation; and a controller. The controller changes an orientation of the screen depending upon the inclination detected through the sensor and the operation detected through the operation unit.
