ABSTRACT:
In an analyzing apparatus for use in analyzing a surface of an object by the use of Auger electrons resulting from impingement of an electron beam, outer and inner cylindrical electrode members are placed to define outer and inner rooms, respectively, and have a common cylindrical axis. The outer and the inner rooms have first outer and first inner ends adjacent to the object, respectively, and second outer and second inner ends remote from the object, respectively. An electron gun is operable to radiate the electron beam and is entered at least partly in the outer room with an electron gun axis noncoincident with the common cylinder axis. The electron gun axis and the common cylinder axis form a predetermined angle. An ion gun is also entered at least partly in the outer room with an ion gun axis noncoincident with the electron gun axis. Various kinds of detectors may be placed in the inner room.
