Abstract

See full text

The disclosed invention provides a sample holder capable of reducing or preventing the influence of a charged particle beam deflected by applying a magnetic field to a sample and provided with means for simply switching between a mode of observing a sample while applying a magnetic field to the sample, and a mode free of a magnetic field in which a magnetic field becomes zero completely. The sample holder includes a magnetic field generating element including three or more magnetic gaps for applying a magnetic field to a sample, a cantilever-beam-shaped sample holding element that holds a sample on one end thereof, and a moving mechanism that adjusts a relative position between a sample and a magnetic gap. The magnetic gaps can be placed along an optical axis of a charged particle beam.
