Abstract

An electron microscope comprising an electron gun for generating an electron beam, an irradiation lens system for irradiating a specimen with the electron beam, means for obtaining an image signal of the specimen, a frame memory for storing the image signal, means for obtaining a total accumulation function, which indicates the sum total of accumulated values in a plurality of one-dimensional directions, and in which each of the accumulated values in the plurality of one-dimensional directions indicates accumulation with respect to a frequency of a function obtained by applying one-dimensional Fourier transform to a function obtained by projecting two-dimensional intensity distribution of said image signal in corresponding one-dimensional direction thereof, and means for obtaining a substantial extreme point of the total accumulation function.
