Abstract: A technology whereby removal of magnetic hysteresis is enabled in short time in parallel with a process for stage transfer, and so forth. There is executed a magnetic hysteresis removal sequence whereby current for exciting an electromagnetic coil prior to acquisition of an image is always set to a predetermined variation value against a target value, thereby obtaining information on an image, and so forth, when a diameter of a primary electron beam, converged on the specimen, becomes smaller than dimensions displayed by one pixel of an image to be acquired.

Abstract: An extraction cycle detection unit detects an extraction cycle of VBI data based on a CRI amplitude of a CVBS signal and a pedestal level detection unit detects a pedestal level value of the CVBS signal. A MAX detection unit detects a maximum value of the CRI amplitude. The maximum value of the CRI amplitude and the pedestal level value are supplied to an operation unit to execute an operation to obtain an average value of them, which is input to a data slice unit as a slice level. The data slice unit extracts the VBI data based on the slice level and the extraction cycle from the extraction cycle detection unit. Even if the CRI waveform of the CVBS signal becomes irregular, the slice level is suitably determined and the VBI data is properly extracted.

Abstract: A bearing 41 of a support portion 4 for rotatably supporting a shaft 11 of a rotating body 10 to be measured with respect to the magnitude of unbalance thereof is formed into a hollow U-shape and has formed therein an injection port 41b for injecting a gas towards the shaft. As the shaft can be supported and floats without making contact with the bearing by virtue of the gas injected from the injection port, the friction can be made small and, hence, a change in rotational speed can be made small. The number and position of the injection ports are determined as required.
