    摘要: An electron beam 2 is focused on a specimen 6 by a focusing lens 5. A light beam 26 is incident on the position of irradiation of the specimen 6 with the electron beam 2 and the reflected light beam 28 is detected by a linear light detector 30. The output of the detector 30 is used to measure height of the specimen at the position of irradiation of the electron beam 2. The specimen 6 is moved in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis 36 of the focusing lens 5. A specimen height measuring device (31 to 34) carries out the height measurement of the specimen at a position to be observed on the specimen and at positions thereon which are in the vicinity of the position to be observed, when those positions are located at the position of irradiation of the electron beam. The specimen height measuring device 31 to 34 averages the measured values so as to produce a focusing correction signal on the basis thereof and controls the focusing lens 5 on the basis of the focusing correction signal.

    摘要: An electron beam apparatus focusses an electron beam (1) onto a specimen (6) by means of an objective magnetic lens (2). In order to detect changes in the height of the specimen, a laser light beam (1) from a laser source (9) is incident on the specimen (6) and the reflected laser beam (11) is detected by a light detector (3). Any change in the height of the specimen (6) changes the path of the laser beam (11) to the detector (3). Therefore, by monitoring the detector (3), the focussing of the electron beam (1) on the specimen (6) can be controlled by varying the current to an excitation coil (31) of the objective magnetic lens (2) or by moving the specimen (6) via a mounting stage (10). At least one of the pole pieces (28,29) of the objective lens (2) is on the opposite side of the path of the laser beam to the source of the electron beam (1), so that the objective magnetic lens (2) may be close to the specimen (6), permitting a short focal length. Thus, the laser beam (11) may pass between the pole pieces (28,29). An optical microscope (39) may also be provided to permit the specimen (6) to be viewed. The viewing path of the optical microscope (39) extends through an opening (37A) in one or both of the pole pieces (28,29) of the objective magnetic lens (2).
