Abstract: An information processing device acquires an image captured by a transmission electron microscope. The information processing device, for each partial region in the image, executes a two-dimensional Fourier transform on an image of the partial region. The information processing device, based on results obtained by executing the two-dimensional Fourier transform on each of the partial regions, performs clustering of frequency strengths obtained from the results of the two-dimensional Fourier transform. The information processing device determines regions of different crystallinity in the image, based on results of the clustering.

The bending moment generating structure can also include a reflective surface. Extension members on at least one end of the optical component can be T-shaped when seen in plan view in a direction orthogonal to the reflective surface.
