Abstract

A scanning-image forming apparatus using a photo-response signal according to this invention is constructed so that the photo-response signal obtained by scanning the surface of a semiconductor specimen with a photon beam is subjected to a 2nd differentiation, and that an image is displayed by employing the 2nd derivative of the photo-response signal as a modulation signal.
