ABSTRACT:
An auto-focusing electron microscope used for the observation, measurement and/or checking of a circuit pattern or the like comprises an objective lens capable of changing a focal position of an electron beam, an optical system for projecting a light and shade pattern having a light-permeable portion and a light-shielding portion onto the surface of a specimen through the objective lens, and a detector for detecting the projected pattern while optically reflecting it, whereby focusing can be made while reducing any damage and/or charging of the specimen.
