ãã[Background of the Invention] Electron microscope devices and electron beam diffraction devices that irradiate a sample with an electron beam under vacuum to obtain a transmitted electron beam image or a reflected electron beam image have been known for some time. In an electron microscope device, an electron beam transmitted through a sample forms a diffraction pattern of the sample on the back focal plane of an objective lens, and the diffraction rays interfere again to form an enlarged image of the sample. Therefore, if the above-mentioned enlarged image is projected by the projection lens, an enlarged image (scattered image) of the sample will be observed, and if the above-mentioned back focal plane is projected, the enlarged diffraction pattern of the sample will be observed. Note that if an intermediate lens is disposed between the objective lens and the projection lens, the above-mentioned magnified image (scattered image) or diffraction pattern can be obtained at will by adjusting the focal length of this intermediate lens. In addition, in electron beam diffraction devices, one type obtains a diffraction pattern by irradiating the sample surface with an electron beam and recording the reflected diffraction rays (reflection method), and the other obtains a diffraction pattern by recording the diffraction rays that pass through the sample. (transmission method).

ãã Generally, as a means to make the above-mentioned enlarged image or diffraction pattern (hereinafter referred to as an electron beam image) into a visible image, a photographic film is placed on the imaging plane and the electron beam image is recorded on it, or the image is A method is used in which an intensifier is arranged to amplify and project an electron beam image. However, photographic film has the drawbacks of low sensitivity to electron beams and cumbersome processing.On the other hand, when using image intensifiers, the sharpness of the image is low and distortion is likely to occur in the image. There is a problem.

ããã Furthermore, the electron beam image recorded as described above is subjected to image processing such as gradation processing, frequency emphasis processing, density processing, subtraction processing, and addition processing, as well as Fourier analysis, for the purpose of making the image easier to see. Reconstruction of three-dimensional images by folding methods, image analysis for image binarization and particle size measurement, and processing of diffraction patterns (analysis of crystal information, clarification of lattice constants, dislocations, lattice defects, etc.) ) etc. are often applied. Conventionally, such processing involves reading a visible image obtained by developing photographic film with a microphotometer, converting it into an electrical signal, converting this electronic signal into an A/D converter, and then using a computer. This was done through complicated tasks such as processing.

äœçšã匷ãããšãå€æããã As a result of further research into the reason for this, the present invention found that short-wavelength electron beams used in electron microscopes and electron diffraction are more easily absorbed by the stimulable phosphor than X-rays, and therefore the phosphor layer is not irradiated with the electron beam. Most of the electron beams are absorbed by the phosphor existing near the surface of the phosphor layer, and therefore the phosphor existing below the phosphor layer hardly contributes to improving sensitivity. On the other hand, it was discovered that in the excitation/photostimulation process performed using electromagnetic waves such as laser light, the electromagnetic waves are easily scattered by the lower phosphor. In other words, the phosphor located at a certain depth or more from the surface does not contribute much to increasing sensitivity, but rather has a strong effect of reducing the line sharpness of images obtained using the stimulable phosphor sheet. found.

As a result of investigation, it has been found that setting the thickness of the phosphor layer within the range of 10 to 150 ÎŒm is most suitable for achieving the above-mentioned desired balance.

奜ãŸããã A transparent protective film may be provided on the phosphor layer according to known techniques. However, the stimulable phosphor sheet used in the present invention does not necessarily need to be provided with a transparent protective film. That is, stimulable phosphor sheets used in X-ray imaging systems are often processed in the atmosphere and moved by various conveyance systems, and therefore physical or chemical damage to the phosphor layer is likely to occur. Therefore, most conventional stimulable phosphor sheets have been used with a protective film attached. However, for stimulable phosphor sheets used in electron microscopes and electron diffraction imaging systems, at least the electron beam image recording operation is performed in a vacuum system, and the readout of recorded images is also performed in a vacuum system. Furthermore, since the transport system for the stimulable phosphor sheet is often relatively simple, physical or chemical deterioration of the phosphor layer is less likely to occur. On the other hand, if the protective film is made too thick, it becomes difficult for the irradiated electron beam to pass through the protective film, resulting in a decrease in the amount of electron beam that reaches the phosphor layer. Therefore, in the stimulable phosphor sheet used in the present invention, a protective film is not provided, or if it is provided, the film thickness is
It is preferable to use a thin transparent protective film with a thickness of about 5 ÎŒm or less.

調æŽãå¯èœã«ãªãã[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, since an electron beam image is recorded on a stimulable phosphor sheet that has a balance between sensitivity and sharpness, it is possible to reproduce electron beam image information with high precision. Therefore, the amount of electron beam exposure can be reduced and damage to the sample can be reduced.
In addition, since the reproduced image can be immediately displayed with high precision on a CRT, etc., a clear monitor image can be obtained by using this reproduced image as a monitor image for focus adjustment of an electron microscope or electron beam diffraction.
It becomes possible to perform focus adjustment with a low electron exposure amount, which was previously impossible.

ãæå³ããã(3) Measurement of image sharpness A plurality of line units to be measured, each consisting of three black lines with the same line width arranged at the same interval in the horizontal direction, are measured, and the line width and line spacing are sequentially changed. A chart for measuring image sharpness (0.50 line pairs/mm to 5.00 line pairs/mm) arranged in parallel was placed on the stimulable phosphor sheet, and electron beam irradiation was performed under the above conditions. Then, the sheet was heated to He
-The phosphor is excited by scanning with a Ne laser beam (wavelength: 632.8 nm), and the stimulated luminescence emitted from the phosphor layer is received by a photodetector (photomultiplier tube with spectral sensitivity S-5) to generate an electrical signal. This was converted into a visible image on a photographic film using an image reproducing device to obtain a chart for measuring image sharpness. The density distribution of this chart image is read with a microphotometer, the output amplitude of the chart image corresponding to 0.50 line pairs/mm is divided by the output amplitude of the chart image corresponding to 5.00 line pairs/mm, and the value is determined as the sharpness value. And so. That is, the larger the sharpness value, the higher the image sharpness.
