前記電極とは電位が異なる別の電極から画像情報を持ったイオン電流を電流信号として検出し、画像を形成する制御部から成ることとした。

(1)-2 試料5から二次電子6が発生
(2)試料5から発生した二次電子6は、試料上方に配置された第一電極9

この段階の正のイオン電流つまり、二次電子に起因するプラスイオン11と反射電子に起因するプラスイオン13を検出し、画像を取得する方法をイオン電流検出法と呼ぶ。さらに、ガスシンチレーションの発光現象については以下の過程を経て画像を取得することになる。
(3)試料上のプラス電極によって形成される電界により、プラズマ状態(
放電)の大きなエネルギーから、電子と中性ガス分子にエネルギーが与
えられ、基底状態14から励起状態15に遷移
(3)-1 基底状態14(安定した原子/分子状態)から励起状態15
(不安定な原子/分子の状態)
(4)不安定な励起状態から基底状態に戻る際に、励起状態に遷移した遷移

を介して観察
ここで、図2に本発明の検出器41の拡大図を示す。
で表現される。したがって、式(1)より、検出信号量が大きくなる条件は、
a.光電子増倍管の増幅率Gが大きいこと
b.ライトガイドに入射する光の光子数Nが大きいこと
c.ライトガイドの透過率と光電子増倍管の放射感度に関する右辺
が大きいこと
これらのうち、ライトガイドの材質と光電子増倍管の種類によるものはa.とc.である。一般的に、光電子増倍管の光電子の増幅率は105~106であるため、入射波長に関連する項目はc.であると考えられる。ここで、ライトガイドに入射する光の波長が、可視光域で最大波長λmax=600nmから真空紫外域で最小波長λmin=200nmであると仮定する。また、ライトガイドと光電子増倍管を通常標準SEMでの仕様に対し、本請求項記載の仕様のものを採用した場合とで
の値を比較してみる。
入射角θが90度、つまりライトガイドの面に対して垂直に入射する場合、一般的なライトガイドの材料(アクリル PMMA樹脂)では屈折率nが1.49~1.5付近であり、全反射臨界角ψは上式より約42度である。
