PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a beam drift deflecting an orbit of charged particles by a potential gradient generated by unevenness of the potential on the surface of a sample in a face of a charged particle beam irradiation area generated by electrification generated when an insulated sample is observed by the charged particle beams. SOLUTION: Energy of the charged particle beams to be irradiated on the sample is set so that a generation efficiency of the secondary electron generated from the sample becomes 1 or higher. As a constitution of the device, a flat electrode, on which a voltage can be impressed independently, having a hole through which primary charged particle beams can pass, is arranged so as to face the sample, a voltage can be independently impressed on the sample stand on which the sample is mounted, and a face facing the sample is flattened so as not to have indentation. Further, a diameter D of the hole formed on the flat electrode and a distance L between the flat electrode and the sample is set so as to fulfill a relation; D/L≥1.5. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
