    Abstract: A charged particle microscope corrects distortion in an image caused by effects of drift in the sampling stage by measuring the correction reference image in a shorter time than the observation image, making corrections by comparing the shape of the observation image with the shape of the correction reference image, and reducing distortion in the observation images. The reference image for distortion correction is measured at the same position and magnification as when acquiring images for observation. In order to reduce effects from drift, the reference image is at this time measured within a shorter time than the essential observation image. The shape of the observation image is corrected by comparing the shapes of the reference image and observation image, and correcting the shape of the observation image to match the reference image.

    Abstract: A scanning electron microscope suppresses a beam drift by reducing charging on a sample surface while suppressing resolution degradation upon observation of an insulator sample. An electron microscope includes an electron source and an objective lens that focuses an electron beam emitted from the electron source, which provides an image using a secondary signal generated from the sample irradiated with the electron beam. A magnetic body with a continuous structure and an inside diameter larger than an inside diameter of an upper pole piece that forms the objective lens is provided between the objective lens and the sample.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an electron beam apparatus comprising a means for visualizing an axial displacement of a retarding electric field, and a means for adjusting axial displacement. The axial displacement visualizing means includes a reflective plate (6), and an optical system (2,3) for converging a secondary electron beam (9) on the reflective plate (6), and the axial displacement adjusting means includes an incline rotation mechanism (8) for a sample stage (5). With this configuration, in electron beam apparatuses such as SEM and the like, such problems as visual field displacement caused by displacement of the axial symmetry of the electric field between an objective lens (3) and a sample (4) and inability to measure secondary electrons and reflected electrons that provide desired information can be eliminated.
