PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flaw inspection method equipped with an enhanced throughput capable of precluding a crosstalk between a plurality of electron beams and leading the discharged secondary electrons efficiently to a detector. SOLUTION: The apparent angle on a specimen surface 1010 viewed from an objective lens is determined from the aperture angle and the magnification at the image surface 1005 of secondary electrons, and the receiving angle at the specimen surface is determined from the obtained apparent angle, the initial energy of the secondary electrons and the beam potential of the objective lens, followed by determining the yield of the secondary electrons on the basis of the obtained receiving angle, and on the basis of the resolution decided by the aperture angle, the spacing of irradiation with adjoining primary electron beams is separated to a distance or more which does not present a problem of crosstalk.
