Abstract

A scanning electron microscope having a charged particle beam that when in a state being irradiated toward a sample, a voltage is applied to the sample so that the charged particle beam does not reach the sample. The scanning electron microscope also detects information on a potential of a sample using a signal obtained, and a device for automatically adjusting conditions based on the result of measuring.
