At present, several methods can protect a sample, for example, inert gas is introduced into a vacuum cavity to be used as protective gas, and then the sample is taken out and is rapidly placed into a clean sample box or a vacuum box; or plating a protective film on the sample and taking out the sample. However, most of them are complicated to operate, and each method cannot avoid the operation of "open cavity sampling" in which the sample is exposed to a non-vacuum gas atmosphere.
