Abstract
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) requires a vacuum environment because it uses a high-energy electron beam to scan the sample surface to produce an image. In a vacuum, electrons can propagate in straight lines without interference from air molecules, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the electron beam. Furthermore, moisture, oxygen, and other gas molecules in the air may react with or deposit on the sample, causing contamination and affecting image quality. A vacuum condition can reduce this risk. Chinese patent document CN117727610A describes a method, device, system, and storage medium for resetting the scanning position of a sample stage, enabling high-precision adjustment of the sample scanning point. However, the sample chamber must be re-evacuated after each sample scan. The number of samples that can be accommodated on a swingable sample stage is limited because the sample must be positioned in the center of the stage to achieve the desired focus position. This reduces the operating efficiency of the SEM. Furthermore, the sample chamber is small and operates under negative pressure. Automatically positioning and scanning multiple samples in a single vacuum operation presents a technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] See also Figures 1-3 6, a scanning electron microscope rotating sample stage includes a sample stage 3 provided on a servo base 100, and at least one sample groove 31 is provided on the upper surface of the sample stage 3, and the sample groove 31 is used to carry a plurality of samples 2;
[0043] An auxiliary sample pushing mechanism 4 is further provided on one side of the sample stage 3. The auxiliary sample pushing mechanism 4 is provided with an auxiliary push rod 41 flush with the sample slot 31. The auxiliary push rod 41 can slide along the sample slot 31.
[0044] The auxiliary sample pushing mechanism 4 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the auxiliary push rod 41 to slide along the sample slot 31;
[0045] The auxiliary push rod 41 pushes the multiple samples 2 to pass through the center of the sample stage 3 for scanning. With this structure, a single vacuum operation can be performed to complete the scanning of multiple groups of samples.
[0046] The preferred solution is Figure 1 In the embodiment, the structure of the servo base 100 is as follows: the lower portion of the sample stage 3 is connected to the swing mechanism 8 to drive the sample stage 3 to swing; the lower portion of the swing mechanism 8 is connected to the rotation mechanism 5 to drive the sample stage 3 and the swing mechanism 8 to rotate; the lower portion of the rotation mechanism 5 is connected to the Y-movement mechanism 6 and the X-movement mechanism 7 to drive the sample stage 3, the swing mechanism 8, and the rotation mechanism 5 to move in the X or Y direction; the lower portions of the Y-movement mechanism 6 and the X-movement mechanism 7 are connected to the lifting mechanism 9 to drive the sample stage 3, the swing mechanism 8, the rotation mechanism 5, the Y-movement mechanism 6, and the X-movement mechanism 7 to rise and fall. The servo base 100 is a conventional structure.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod. Preferably, the hydraulic cylinder and the electric push rod are used, and in particular the hydraulic cylinder, because the volume can be smaller, but it is more difficult to transmit the control signal into the sample chamber and to set up the hydraulic station.
[0048] 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;
[0049] 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 provided at the bottom of the auxiliary push rod 41. The push rod drive mechanism 48 is arranged on the push rod slot 42 or the support frame 46. The end of the push rod drive mechanism 48 is provided with a ratchet mechanism 47, which is engaged with the tooth 49. The push rod drive mechanism 48 is provided with a stacked piezoelectric element. The ratchet mechanism 47 drives the auxiliary push rod 41 to slide unidirectionally along the sample groove 31 through the extension and contraction of the push rod drive mechanism 48. With this structure, the sample 2 can be pushed to the center position of the sample stage 3 for electron microscope scanning in sequence by the push of 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.
[0050] The preferred solution is Figure 1In 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 slot 33 falls into the carrier bag 10 .
[0051] Example 2:
[0052] 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;
[0053] A plurality of first auxiliary feed teeth 32 are provided on the edge of the sample slot 31 of the sample stage 3;
[0054] The auxiliary push rod 41 is slidably disposed in a push rod slot 42 , which is disposed on a support frame 46 . A tooth 49 is disposed at the bottom of the auxiliary push rod 41 . 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.
[0055] The Y-axis moving mechanism 6 or X-axis 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 for scanning. The cleverness of this example lies in the use of the servo base 100's own Y-axis moving mechanism 6 and X-axis moving mechanism 7 to achieve the feeding of the auxiliary push rod 41. Although the displacement of the existing Y-axis moving mechanism 6 and X-axis moving mechanism 7 is insufficient to cover at least half of the entire distance of the 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 the middle of the sample stage 3.
[0056] In the preferred embodiment, the push rod chute 42 is connected to the support frame 46 via a swing shaft 43, and a support rod mechanism 44 is provided to drive the push rod chute 42 to swing;
[0057] A tension spring 45 is provided between the push rod chute 42 and the auxiliary push rod 41. One end of the tension spring 45 is connected to the push rod chute 42, and the other end is connected to the auxiliary push rod 41.
[0058] 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;
[0059] The preferred solution is Figure 3In the figure, one end of the strut mechanism 44 is connected to the support frame 46, and the other end is connected to the push rod slot 42. The strut mechanism 44 is a group of stacked piezoelectric elements. The extension action of the strut mechanism 44 causes the push rod slot 42 to swing, and the teeth 49 of the auxiliary push rod 41 are disengaged from the first auxiliary feed teeth 32; the retraction action of the strut mechanism 44 causes the teeth 49 of the auxiliary push rod 41 to resume the engagement with the first auxiliary feed teeth 32.
[0060] 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;
[0061] There are at least three sample slots 31 and a sample unloading slot 33. The sample slots 31 and the sample unloading slot 33 form a "cross" shape. The sample slots 31 and the sample unloading slot 33 are connected to each other.
[0062] When the sample stage 3 needs to be rotated, the extension of the support rod mechanism 44 causes the auxiliary push rod 41 to be disengaged from the sample slot 31 , and the retraction of the support rod mechanism 44 causes the auxiliary push rod 41 to fall into the sample slot 31 .
[0063] The preferred solution is Figure 4 In the figure, 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.
[0064] 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.
[0065] 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 sample 2 holder 1 can slide out of the sample unloading groove 33 and fall into the object pocket 10 .
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the sample 10 is placed on the bracket 1. The bracket 1 has the following structure: upper pressing plates 103 are provided on both sides of the upper portion of the frame 104. The upper pressing plates 103 are used to clamp the sample 10. The upper pressing plates 103 are pressed on both sides of the sample 10. A hollow structure is provided at the position of the frame 104 corresponding to the sample 10.
[0067] An extension position is further 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 extension position;
[0068] The sample slot 31 is configured as a dovetail slot, and the bracket 1 is configured with a corresponding dovetail structure; the bracket 1 can better adapt to the accuracy of the sample slot 31. The bracket 1 is made of a conductive structure, such as conductive plastic or conductive rubber.
[0069] Example 3:
[0070] 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 the TN-1912 model with a diameter of 38 mm is used. Figure 4 In the example, after installing a bracket 1 for each sample 2, a total of 13 samples 2 are installed in the three sample slots 31 distributed at 90 degrees and in the middle. The bracket 1 is rectangular, which can better define and position it in the sample slot 31. After vacuuming, as shown in FIG. Figures 1-3 As 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 teeth 49 and the first auxiliary feed teeth 32 form a one-way meshing structure. When the sample stage 3 moves to the left, the teeth 49 disengage from the first auxiliary feed teeth 32. At this time, in the retracted state of the support rod mechanism 44, the tension spring 45 is insufficient to retract the auxiliary push rod 41. The teeth 49 and the first auxiliary feed teeth 32 slide relative to each other by multiple tooth pitches, pushing the sample 2 to the right for a distance. Then the sample stage 3 moves to the right, and the first auxiliary feed teeth 32 pulls the auxiliary push rod 41 to the right through the teeth 49 until a sample 2 moves to the center of the sample stage 3. At this time, scanning of the sample 2 at the center position begins. After scanning and image acquisition are completed, the sample stage 3 repeats the left and right reciprocating motion to scan the samples 2 in the current sample slot 31 in sequence. All samples 2 in the sample slot 31 enter the sample unloading slot 33. When other operations are required on sample stage 3, support rod mechanism 44 extends, and auxiliary push rod 41 disengages from sample well 31, allowing sample stage 3 to rotate, swing, lift, and move to perform various focus-finding operations. Once completed, sample stage 3 returns to a horizontal position, and sample well 31 is aligned with auxiliary push rod 41, allowing sample 2 to be pushed again.
[0071] For the two sample slots 31 perpendicular to the sample unloading slot 33, the first sample slot 31 can be scanned by pushing a sample 2, then rotating the sample stage 3 90°. Then, from the sample slot 31 where all samples have been pushed, the central sample 2 is pushed into the sample unloading slot 33. The sample stage 3 is then rotated 90° in the opposite direction to push the next sample 2. The second sample slot 31 can be pushed directly into the opposite, already empty sample slot 31, or the above steps can be used to push each sample into the sample unloading slot 33 in sequence. Through the above steps, a single vacuum operation completes the scanning of all samples 2.

The embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application may be arbitrarily combined with each other unless they conflict. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions described in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions described in the claims.
