PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a beam separator having a larger deflection angle and small aberration. SOLUTION: The beam separator comprises: a first pair of electrodes 15 forming a first region, in which a first electric field E<SB>1</SB>is perpendicular to a first axis A1; a pair of magnetic poles (not shown in the figure) forming a second region, in which a magnetic field B is perpendicular to each of the first axis A1 and the first electric field E<SB>1</SB>, and lying on the sample side of the first axis A1 respect to the first region; a third pair of electrodes 17 forming a third region, in which a second electric field E<SB>2</SB>is perpendicular to the first electric field E<SB>1</SB>, and lying on the sample side of the first axis A1 with respect to the second region; and a fourth pair of electrodes 18 forming a fourth region, in which a third electric field E<SB>3</SB>is perpendicular to each of a second axis A2 and the magnetic field B, and lying in the incident direction of an electron beam to a sample of the second axis A2 toward the second region with respect to the second axis A2 perpendicular to each of the first axis A1 and the magnetic field B.
