[0004] The deficiency of the above disclosed solution is that although the stage can be tilted, the stage cannot be tilted in different directions, so the sample cannot be observed at different tilting directions, which brings inconvenience to the operator. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an electron microscope sample stage, which can make the movable plate in different tilting directions, so as to change the tilting direction of the sample to be observed, and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: an electron microscope sample stage, including a bottom plate, a fixing plate is fixedly arranged on the top of the bottom plate, a support rod is fixedly arranged on the top of the fixing plate, a connecting ring is fixedly arranged on the top of the support rod, a sliding ball is slidably sleeved in the connecting ring, a movable plate is fixedly arranged on the top of the sliding ball, and a driving component for driving the sliding ball to move is arranged on the fixing plate, and the movement of the sliding ball drives the movable plate to be in different tilting directions.

[0007] Further, a stabilizing rod is fixedly arranged on the top of the movable plate, and a bearing plate is fixedly arranged on the top of the stabilizing rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a motor which is fixedly arranged on a fixing plate. A rotating rod is fixedly arranged at the output end of the motor. The rotating rod is bent.

[0010] Furthermore, a storage box is fixedly arranged at the top of the bottom plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] Since a driving assembly for driving the sliding ball to move is arranged on the fixing plate, the movement of the sliding ball drives the movable plate to be in different inclined positions. Therefore, when it is necessary to observe a sample to be observed from multiple directions, the driving assembly drives the sliding ball to move in the connecting ring, the sliding ball drives the movable plate to move, and the movable plate drives the bearing plate to be in different inclined positions through the stabilizing rod, so as to change the inclined position of the sample to be observed on the bearing plate, and further, the sample to be observed can be observed from different inclined positions, which is convenient for the operator to use.
