PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, a technique, and a method for two-dimensional distributions and measuring distortions and stress, having nanometer resolution of each type of crystal sample through the use of diffraction images observed by an electronic microscope. SOLUTION: Electron beams are irradiated in minute amount and in parallel to a sample. The distances, between the spots of a diffraction image reflecting a crystal structure acquired by the irradiation, are measured by an image detector or a position detector. A two-dimensional stress distribution is superimposed on the measured positional information and displayed on an enlarged image of an electronic microscope. Distortions and stresses in minute crystals can be displayed at a high resolution and at a high speed in matching structural information of the sample. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
