Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for automatically adjusting an electron beam emitted from an electron gun equipped with a photocathode to the incident axis of an electron optical system.
[Solution] An incident axis alignment method for an electron gun equipped with a photocathode, the electron gun being capable of emitting an electron beam in a first state due to the photocathode being irradiated with excitation light, and the method including at least an excitation light radiation step, a first excitation light irradiation position adjustment step for changing the irradiation position of the excitation light on the photocathode and adjusting the irradiation position of the excitation light, and an electron beam center detection step for detecting whether a center line of the electron beam in the first state coincides with an incident axis of an electron optical system.

Abstract: Provided is a photocathode kit that does not require adjustment of the distance between a photocathode film and a lens focusing on the photocathode film when the photocathode and the lens are installed inside an electron gun. The photocathode kit includes: a photocathode including a substrate in which a photocathode film is formed on a first surface; a lens; and a holder that holds the substrate and the lens, and the holder has a retaining member that retains the photocathode film and the lens to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance, and a first communication path that communicates between inside of the holder and outside of the holder.
