Disclosed is a scanning electron microscope capable of performing speedy focusing by automatically measuring an electrostatic voltage of a surface of a wafer inside a specimen chamber in an accurate, and easy speedy manner, the wafer assuming different electrostatic voltages inside and outside the specimen chamber. The scanning electron microscope that controls optical systems measures an electrostatic voltage of the specimen according to an electrostatic capacitance between the both parts of the divided electrode plate, by dividing an electrode plate into two parts and switching potentials of electrodes obtained by the division with each other, an electrostatic voltage of the specimen based on an electrostatic capacitance between the both parts of the divided electrode plate. The electrode plate is used for applying a retarding voltage and arranged over a specimen.
