Abstract:
A microscopy system for imaging a sample can include a scanning electron microscope system configured for imaging a surface layer of the sample and a focused ion beam system configured for generating an ion beam for milling the surface layer away from a sample after it has been imaged. A movable mechanical shutter can be configured to be moved automatically into a position between the sample and the scanning electron microscope system, so that when the electron beam is not imaging the sample the movable mechanical shutter is positioned between the sample and the scanning electron microscope system.

Claim (Index 6):
A microscopy system for imaging a sample, the microscopy system comprising:\n a focused ion beam system configured to direct a focused ion beam onto a sample; a scanning electron microscope system configured to direct an electron beam onto the sample; and a plurality of charged-particle detectors, each detector being configured to monitor an electrical current on the detector; and a first controller configured to receive a plurality of signals indicative of the electrical currents on the plurality of charged particle detectors and configured to control automatically properties of a focused ion beam produced by the focused ion beam system in response to the received signals.
