An electron microscope has an electron beam source generating an accelerated electron beam, electromagnetic lenses for converging the electron beam, alignment coils for adjusting the optical axis of the beam transmitted through the lenses, a control unit for controlling the ambient around a specimen, at least one vacuum pump mounted in a given location of the electron optical column, a gas inlet device mounted near the specimen, an imager for creating an image based on a signal arising from the region of the specimen illuminated with the beam, an image output device for recording and displaying the image, and a computer for controlling these components. The computer finds the orifices to be used and diameters of orifices at which the pressure is maintained without electrical discharge in an electron beam source from the selected gas species and the pressure around the specimen.
