[0002] Scanning electron microscopy is an important technical means to characterize the structure and morphology of samples. For precision instruments such as scanning electron microscopes, in order to observe and characterize the structure and morphology of samples under scanning electron microscopes, it is necessary to prepare samples with high requirements, and after preparing the samples, the samples and the sample stage need to be purged;

[0003] The conventional method of purging the sample stage is to use an ear bulb to purge it; however, the disadvantage of the ear bulb purging method is that the manual purging force is relatively light, and it cannot guarantee that the dust of the powder sample or the solid sample itself will be completely blown off the sample stage; if the impurities and dust fall into the scanning electron microscope, it will cause internal environmental pollution of the scanning electron microscope, which will have a serious impact on the scanning electron microscope and subsequent sample scanning; the ear bulb purging method will also reduce the service life of the electron microscope and reduce the accuracy and reliability of subsequent sample scanning results.
