  • Patent number: 11170483
    Abstract: A sample observation device images a sample placed on a movable table by irradiating and scanning the sample with a charged particle beam of a microscope. A degraded image having poor image quality and a high quality image having satisfactory image quality which are acquired at the same location of the sample by causing the charged particle microscope to change an imaging condition for imaging the sample are stored. An estimation process parameter is calculated for estimating the high quality image from the degraded image by using the stored degraded image and high quality image. A high quality image estimation unit processes the degraded image obtained by causing the charged particle microscope to image the desired site of the sample by using the calculated estimation process parameter. Thereby, the high quality image obtained at the desired site is estimated, and then the estimated high quality image is output.
