Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of microscopic imaging equipment for biological samples, in particular to a rotating sample stage for a scanning electron microscope. Background Art
[0002] The sample chamber of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) needs to be evacuated to a vacuum environment because SEM uses a high-energy electron beam to scan the sample surface to produce an image. In a vacuum, electrons can propagate in a straight line without being disturbed by molecules in the air, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the electron beam. In addition, moisture, oxygen and other gas molecules in the air may react with the sample or deposit on the sample, causing contamination and affecting the image quality. Vacuum conditions can reduce this risk. Chinese patent document CN117727610A records a reset control method, device, system and storage medium for the scanning position of a sample stage, which can adjust the sample scanning position with high precision. However, the sample chamber needs to be evacuated again for each sample scan, and the number of samples that can be accommodated on the swingable sample stage is limited, because the sample needs to be located in the middle of the sample stage to obtain a suitable focus position, which makes the operation efficiency of the scanning electron microscope low. In addition, the space in the sample chamber is small, and it works in a negative pressure environment. How to complete the automatic positioning and scanning of multiple samples by evacuating at one time is a technical problem in this field. Summary of the invention

[0025] In a preferred solution, the driving mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder, a gas cylinder or an electric push rod. Preferably, the hydraulic cylinder and the electric push rod are used, especially the hydraulic cylinder, which can achieve a smaller volume, but it is difficult to transmit the control signal into the sample chamber and set up the hydraulic station.
[0026] The preferred solution is Figure 6 In the embodiment, the driving mechanism is a push rod driving mechanism 48 provided in the auxiliary sample pushing mechanism 4; The auxiliary push rod 41 is slidably arranged in the push rod slot 42, and the push rod slot 42 is arranged on the support frame 46. A tooth 49 is arranged at the bottom of the auxiliary push rod 41, and a push rod driving mechanism 48 is arranged on the push rod slot 42 or the support frame 46. A ratchet mechanism 47 is arranged at the end of the push rod driving mechanism 48, and the ratchet mechanism 47 is meshed with the tooth 49. The push rod driving mechanism 48 is provided with a stacked piezoelectric element, and the ratchet mechanism 47 drives the auxiliary push rod 41 to slide unidirectionally along the sample slot 31 through the extension and contraction of the push rod driving mechanism 48. With this structure, the sample 2 can be pushed to the center position of the sample stage 3 in sequence for electron microscope scanning by pushing the auxiliary push rod 41. In this example, with reference to TN-1912, the sample stage 3 with a diameter of 38mm can load 4 to 5 samples 2 at a time. Preferably, a copper mesh is used to load the sample in this example.
[0027] The preferred solution is Figure 1 In the embodiment, a carrier bag 10 is provided around the servo base 100 , and the sample 2 or the bracket 1 of the sample 2 that slides down from the sample unloading groove 33 falls into the carrier bag 10 .
[0028] Embodiment 2: The preferred solution is Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment, the servo base 100 is provided with a Y-direction moving mechanism 6 and an X-direction moving mechanism 7; A plurality of first auxiliary feeding teeth 32 are provided at the edge of the sample slot 31 of the sample stage 3; The auxiliary push rod 41 is slidably arranged in the push rod slide groove 42, and the push rod slide groove 42 is arranged on the support frame 46. A tooth 49 is arranged at the bottom of the auxiliary push rod 41, and the inclination angle of one side of the tooth 49 and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 is higher than the inclination angle of the other side, so that the tooth 49 and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 form a one-way meshing connection; The Y-direction moving mechanism 6 or X-direction moving mechanism 7 of the servo base 100 reciprocates along the axis of the auxiliary push rod 41, driving the auxiliary push rod 41 to slide along the sample slot 31, pushing multiple samples 2 to pass through the center position of the sample stage 3 in sequence for scanning. The cleverness of this example lies in the use of the Y-direction moving mechanism 6 and X-direction moving mechanism 7 of the servo base 100 to realize the feeding of the auxiliary push rod 41. Although the displacement of the existing Y-direction moving mechanism 6 and X-direction moving mechanism 7 is not enough to cover at least half of the distance of the entire sample stage 3, the use of Figure 2 As shown in the meshing structure of the tooth 49 and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32, when the sample stage 3 moves to the left, the tooth 49 and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 disengage from each other and form a new meshing, and when the sample stage 3 moves to the right, the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 moves to the right with the auxiliary push rod 41 through the meshing with the tooth 49, so that the auxiliary push rod 41 pushes the multiple samples 2 to move toward the middle of the sample stage 3.
[0029] In the preferred solution, the push rod slide 42 is connected to the support frame 46 through a swing shaft 43, and a support rod mechanism 44 is also provided to drive the push rod slide 42 to swing; A tension spring 45 is provided between the push rod slot 42 and the auxiliary push rod 41, one end of the tension spring 45 is connected to the push rod slot 42, and the other end is connected to the auxiliary push rod 41; The teeth 49 of the auxiliary push rod 41 are disengaged from the first auxiliary feed teeth 32, and the auxiliary push rod 41 returns to its initial position; The preferred solution is Figure 3 In the figure, one end of the support rod mechanism 44 is connected to the support frame 46, and the other end is connected to the push rod slide groove 42. The support rod mechanism 44 is a group of stacked piezoelectric elements. The extension action of the support rod mechanism 44 causes the push rod slide groove 42 to swing, and the teeth 49 of the auxiliary push rod 41 are disengaged from the first auxiliary advance teeth 32; the retraction action of the support rod mechanism 44 causes the teeth 49 of the auxiliary push rod 41 to resume the meshing state with the first auxiliary advance teeth 32.
[0030] The preferred solution is Figure 1 In the embodiment, the servo base 100 is further provided with a rotating mechanism 5 and a swinging mechanism 8; There are at least three sample slots 31 and a sample unloading slot 33. The sample slots 31 and the sample unloading slots 33 form a "cross" shape. The sample slots 31 and the sample unloading slots 33 are interconnected. When the sample stage 3 needs to be rotated, the extension action of the support rod mechanism 44 causes the auxiliary push rod 41 to be disengaged from the sample slot 31 , and the retraction action of the support rod mechanism 44 causes the auxiliary push rod 41 to fall into the sample slot 31 .
[0031] The preferred solution is Figure 4 In the embodiment, the center position of the sample slot 31 and the sample stage 3 forms a tight fit with the sample 2 or the bracket 1 of the sample 2; that is, the sample slot 31 can form a damping structure with the sample 2 or the bracket 1 to prevent the sample 2 or the bracket 1 from falling when the bracket 1 is tilted.
[0032] The sample unloading groove 33 and the sample 2 or the bracket 1 of the sample 2 form a loose fit, that is, there is no damping between the sample 2 or the bracket 1 and the sample unloading groove 33.
[0033] When the swing mechanism 8 swings the sample stage 3 to a certain inclination angle, for example, above 25°, the sample 2 in the sample unloading groove 33 or the bracket 1 of the sample 2 can slide out of the sample unloading groove 33 and fall into the object pocket 10 .
[0034] In a preferred solution, the sample 10 is arranged on the bracket 1, and the structure of the bracket 1 is as follows: upper pressing plates 103 are arranged on both sides above the frame 104, and the upper pressing plates 103 are used to clamp the sample 10, and the upper pressing plates 103 are pressed on the positions on both sides of the sample 10, and a hollow structure is arranged at the position of the frame 104 corresponding to the sample 10; An extended position is also provided on one side of the frame 104, and a clamping area 101 and an information area 102 are provided at the edge of the extended position; The sample slot 31 is configured as a dovetail slot structure, and the bracket 1 is configured as a corresponding dovetail structure; the bracket 1 can better adapt to the accuracy of the sample slot 31. The bracket 1 is configured as a conductive structure, such as conductive plastic or conductive rubber.
[0035] Embodiment 3: Taking the structure of Example 2 as an example, the method of using the present invention is described. In this example, the sample stage 3 of TN-1912 with a diameter of 38 mm is referred to. Figure 4 In the embodiment, after installing a bracket 1 for each sample 2, a total of 13 samples 2 are installed in three sample slots 31 distributed at 90 degrees apart and in the middle. The bracket 1 is rectangular, which can better define and position in the sample slot 31. After vacuuming, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the support rod mechanism 44 is in a retracted state, the end of the auxiliary push rod 41 falls on the edge of the sample stage 3, and the tooth 49 and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 form a one-way meshing structure. When the sample stage 3 moves to the left, the tooth 49 disengages from the first auxiliary feed tooth 32. At this time, in the retracted state of the support rod mechanism 44, the tension spring 45 is not enough to retract the auxiliary push rod 41, and the tooth 49 and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 slide relative to each other for multiple tooth pitches, while pushing the sample 2 to move to the right for a distance, and then the sample stage 3 moves to the right, and the first auxiliary feed tooth 32 pulls the auxiliary push rod 41 to move to the right through the tooth 49 until a sample 2 moves to the center position of the sample stage 3. At this time, the sample 2 at the center position begins to be scanned. After scanning and image acquisition are completed, the reciprocating movement of the sample stage 3 is repeated, and the samples 2 in the current sample slot 31 are scanned in sequence. All samples 2 in the sample slot 31 enter the sample unloading slot 33. When other operations of the sample stage 3 are required, the support rod mechanism 44 is extended, the auxiliary push rod 41 is separated from the sample slot 31, and the sample stage 3 can be rotated, swung, lifted and displaced to complete multiple focus search operations. After completion, the sample stage 3 returns to a horizontal state, and the sample slot 31 is aligned with the auxiliary push rod 41, and the pushing operation of the sample 2 can be continued.
[0036] For the two sample slots 31 perpendicular to the sample unloading slot 33, the first sample slot 31 can be pushed with a sample 2 for scanning and collection, and then the sample stage 3 can be rotated 90°, and then the sample 2 located at the center can be pushed into the sample unloading slot 33 from the sample slot 31 that has been pushed completely, and then the sample stage 3 can be rotated 90° in the opposite direction to continue pushing the next sample 2. The second sample slot 31 can be directly pushed into the opposite empty sample slot 31, or the above steps can be used to push it into the sample unloading slot 33 in sequence. Through the above steps, the scanning of all samples 2 can be completed in one vacuum operation.
[0037] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be regarded as limitations of the present invention. The embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict. The protection scope of the present invention shall be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including the equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims.
