Description

Vacuum atmosphere treatment device and sample observation system
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a scanning electron microscope field especially relates to a vacuum atmosphere processing apparatus and sample observation system.
Background
The optical microscope has the advantages of simple operation, simple preparation of a sample to be measured, no strict requirement on the external environment and the like in the using process, so that the optical microscope is widely applied to the fields of scientific research, medical treatment, industrial production and the like; however, the resolution of the optical microscope is low due to the limit of the optical diffraction limit, which is about 200 nm. In order to obtain higher resolution, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was invented in the 60's of the 20 th century, and the resolution of SEM can reach several nanometers and even can reach sub-nanometer level.
However, the electron microscope also has a lot of inconveniences in the application process, such as: the sample to be tested is complex to prepare, has strict requirements on the testing environment, and needs to be placed in a high-vacuum sample chamber; therefore, the sample observed by SEM usually requires treatments such as sampling, dehydration, drying, and plating. Thus, large-sized samples, aqueous samples, organic biological samples, etc. are inconvenient to observe using conventional SEM.
In order to facilitate observation of special samples such as aqueous samples and organic biological samples, a novel SEM has been derived, wherein the most typical novel SEM is Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM); ESEMs usually have a relatively high pressure sample chamber containing an atmosphere, typically in the range of 0.1 torr to 50 torr, under which conditions the sample to be measured may be an aqueous sample such as a biological sample or a non-conductive sample not suitable for high vacuum; however, the ESEM has a closed sample space, which still has a certain difficulty in observing a sample which is large in size and difficult to divide and sample, and is inconvenient for observing a sample which needs to be measured quickly and is changed frequently.
In order to solve the disadvantages of the ESEM in observing the sample, an Atmospheric Scanning Electron Microscope (ASEM) and an environment with a certain atmosphere and adjustable pressure are proposed in succession; since the ASEM observes a sample in an open environment, the mean free path of electrons in the atmosphere is only tens to hundreds of micrometers, and thus, the working distance of the ASEM is very small. Creating an atmosphere in an open environment by injecting gas into the vicinity of the sample using one or more conduits creates a local gas environment, which has the disadvantage that the pressure of the created local gas environment is not stable and cannot be easily controlled.
Therefore, when a sample is observed by using SEM in an open environment without a sample chamber, how to create a local gas environment required for observing the sample and how to control the pressure of the local gas environment are problems to be solved.
