Abstract:
1. A material characterization system comprising: means for irradiating a specimen with an electron-beam by stopping down an electron beam gun; an electron-beam scanning section for scanning the specimen with the electron-beam; an electron detector for detecting secondary electrons emitted from the specimen upon irradiation of electron-beam or electrons transmitted through specimen; a specimen image display section; an elemental analysis section for analyzing an energy beam emitted by synergetic action between the electron-beam and the specimen; an electron-beam diffraction image photography section for picking up an electron beam diffraction image formed by the specimen transmission electron-beam; an electron-beam diffraction image analysis section for outputting information of the specimen concerning a lattice distance of a crystal obtained from the electron-beam diffraction image; and a material characterization section for characterizing the material contained in a region of electron irradiation zone of the specimen.
