Abstract

A sample analyzing apparatus includes: an irradiation system which irradiates a charged particle onto a sample having a concave portion partially on a surface thereof; a light condensing reflecting mirror which condenses luminescence obtained from the surface based on the irradiation of the charged particle; a light detector which detects the luminescence guided to the light condensing reflecting mirror; a charged particle detector which detects the charged particle reflected from the surface of the sample as a reflection charged particle; and a signal processor which controls the irradiation system to irradiate the charged particle intermittently, which obtains a shape of the sample on the basis of a detection signal outputted from the charged particle detector, and which identifies a material of the sample on the basis of an attenuation characteristic of a detection signal outputted from the light detector in a period from a time point in which the intermittent irradiation of the charged particle by the irradiation system is ended to a time point in which the intermittent irradiation of the charged particle by the irradiation system is started.

Claims

1. A digital camera, comprising:

an imaging unit configured to image an image of a photographic subject and output the imaged image of the photographic subject as an image data;

a recording unit configured to store the image data outputted from the imaging unit as an image file;

a communicator configured to establish communication with at least one external device to transmit data with the at least one external device;

a display configured to display the image of the photographic subject imaged by the imaging unit and the image data stored in the recording unit as a reproduced image; and

a controller configured to search the at least one external device possible to communicate with the communicator by the communicator, and configured to display a character string corresponding to a character code indicating name of the at least one external device searched and found obtained by the communication with the at least one external device by the communicator on the display, when the at least one external device is searched and found,

wherein the controller is further configured to judge a kind of the character code of the character string obtained by the communication with the at least one external device by the communicator as to whether or not the digital camera supports the kind of the character code obtained, based on an information on the kind of the character code obtained by the communication, and to display the character string of the character code corresponding to the kind of the character code supported on the display.

2. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the character string obtained by the communication with the at least one external device by the communicator includes a first character string and a second character string, the controller is further configured to judge a first kind of the character code corresponding to the first character string and a second kind of the character code corresponding to the second character string obtained by the communication with the at least one external device by the communicator as to whether or not the digital camera supports the first kind of the character code and the second kind of the character code obtained, based on an information on the first kind of the character code and second kind of the character code obtained by the communication, to display the first character string on the display when the corresponding first kind of the character code is supported, and to display the second character string on the display when the corresponding second kind of the character code is supported.

3. The digital camera according to claim 2, wherein the controller is further configured to display the first character string on the display when both of the corresponding first and the second character strings are supported.

4. The digital camera according to claim 2, wherein when the digital camera does not support a part of the character string of one of the first character string corresponding to the first kind of the character code and the second character string corresponding to the second kind of the character code, the controller is configured to display the character string of the other of the first character string and the second character string fully supported by the digital camera.
