Provided is a charged particle emission gun with which cleaning of a tip is possible without stopping the operation of the charged particle emission gun for a long time and without heating the tip. The charged particle emission gun includes a cleaning photo-irradiation apparatus that generates ultraviolet light or infrared light to irradiate a tip, and an optical fiber for guiding the ultraviolet light or the infrared light toward the tip. The cleaning photo-irradiation apparatus generates ultraviolet light or an infrared light with a predetermined wavelength and intensity to desorb a molecule adsorbed on the tip through photon stimulated desorption, or to desorb a molecule adsorbed on the tip through photon stimulated desorption and ionize the desorbed molecule.
