Disclosed is an electron beam apparatus, in which a plurality of electron beams is formed from electrons emitted from an electron gun 21 and used to irradiate a sample surface via an objective lens 28 , said apparatus comprising: a beam separator 27 for separating a secondary electron beams emanating from respective scanned regions on the sample from the primary electron beams; a magnifying electron lens 31 for extending a beam space between adjacent beams in the separated plurality of secondary electron beams; a fiber optical plate 32 for converting the magnified plurality of secondary electron beams to optical signals by a scintillator and for transmitting the signals; a photoelectric conversion device 35 for converting the optical signal to an electric signal; an optical zoom lens 33 for focusing the optical signal from the scintillator into an image on the photoelectric conversion device; and a rotation mechanism 36 for rotating the photoelectric conversion device 35 around the optical axis.
