Scanning electron microscope
View Patent ↗A scanning electron microscope includes: an electron optical column, arranged to generate electron beams and focus the electron beams on a specimen; a first detector, arranged to receive electrons generated by the electron beams acting on the specimen; and a second detector, arranged to receive photons generated by the electron beams acting on the specimen. The second detector includes a reflector and a photon detector. The reflector is in a ring shape and is arranged to cover the perimeter of the specimen. The reflector reflects the photons generated on the specimen onto the photon detector. The scanning electron microscope provided by the present disclosure can collect photons in a wide range, and the photon detector has a high reception efficiency.
