ABSTRACT:
An electron microscope capable of performing accurate x-ray analysis is provided. An objective lens having a bottom polepiece from which unwanted x-rays are not produced is attached to the electron microscope. An EDS (energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer) detector is also attached to the electron microscope to make an x-ray analysis. A film consisting of a light element such as beryllium is coated on the top surface and the tapering portion of the bottom polepiece to prevent the electron beam transmitted through the sample or the secondary electrons and the scattered electrons emanating from the sample from colliding against the surface of the bottom polepiece; otherwise x-rays characteristic of Fe and Co would be generated.
