PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transmission electron microscope, capable of always correctly acquiring the state of inclination and rotation of a sample. SOLUTION: In this transmission electron microscope, when a sample 1 is inclined, a sample inclining/rotating mechanism 2 is driven by the control from an electron microscope body control system 7. As a result, the sample 1 is inclined by a prescribed amount in an arbitrary direction. Information, such as the direction (way) of the inclination, is delivered from the electron microscope body control system 7 to a display control circuit 5. A graphic display CPU in the display control circuit 5 produces a signal for graphically displaying an inclination axis based on the inclination information and delivers it to a cathode-ray tube 6, along with the image data provided by a TV camera 4. As a result, the inclination axis 8 is displayed on the cathode-ray tube 6 along with the sample image. At this time, the upper half and the lower half of the inclination axis 8 are displayed in white and in red color, respectively. The display in red shows the sense of the inclination, and it is immediately determined from the display that the sample 1 is inclined in the red-colored direction, that is, toward the lower side (in the positive direction) on the image screen.
