Abstract

See full text

The device of the present invention enables high resolution observation even when a sample is tilted. A deflecting electrode device for generating an electric field having a component in the direction perpendicular to the center axis (optical axis) of an objective lens is provided between the objective lens and the sample. A voltage applied to the deflecting electrode device is controlled in accordance with the tilting of a sample stage. A lateral electric field component generated on the optical axis when the sample stage is tilted is corrected by a deflected electric field generated by the deflecting electrode device. This is effective to suppress generation of astigmatism, and to allows effective arrival of an secondary electron at a secondary electron detector disposed at a position nearer the electron source side than the objective lens.
