  • Patent number: 10020163
    Abstract: For a novice user to easily recognize a difference between imaging results caused by a difference between observation conditions, a computer has an operation screen display observation target setting buttons for changing an observation condition for a specimen including a combination of parameter setting values of a charged particle beam apparatus. The processing unit has the operation screen display a radar chart including a characteristic, indicated by three or more incompatible items, of an observation condition for each of the observation target setting buttons. The radar chart indicates at least items of high resolution, emphasis on surface structure and emphasis on material difference.

  • Patent number: 9129773
    Abstract: In many cases, the charged particle beam apparatus is used basically for observation at a magnification of 10,000 times or higher. It is thus difficult to recognize how the orientation of a sample seen with the naked eye corresponds to the origination of the sample appearing on an acquired image. This makes it difficult intuitively to grasp the tilt direction and other details of the sample. An object of this invention is to provide a charged particle beam apparatus allowing the orientation and the tilted state of the sample to be grasped intuitively.

  • Patent number: 8831873
    Abstract: Provided is a navigation technique for aiding a user to develop a plan for traveling around a plurality of destinations. The navigation device causes a display unit to display a first display area and a second display area. The first display area displays icon information for specifying a facility and positional information thereof. The second display area displays a time line of a predetermined period. When the user disposes a plurality of pieces of icon information on the time line, the navigation device retrieves a route for traveling around the disposed facilities in order. As to icon information of a facility at which the user cannot arrive at the time corresponding to a position where the icon information is disposed, the navigation device indicates that the icon information is inappropriate.

  • Patent number: 8456489
    Abstract: A method of displaying a document with an image. Tabs 351 to 354 associated with the same document are set on a document screen 33 of a document display screen 32, with one of the tabs (351) open. A base image 36 attached to the document is displayed on the tab 351. At the position for a comment, etc. of this base image, objects (added information) such as a comment 37, a pattern 38 related to the comment, a symbol 39 and an arrow 41 are added. These objects can be added by operating an “add” button 16a or an object select section 42. Also, an added object list screen 34 indicating a list of the objects added is displayed. The added information such as a comment added to the base image can be immediately viewed in the state related to the base image.
