A scanning electron microscope according to the present invention is provided with a first deflection field setting module that sets plural deflectors to move a scanning area on a specimen by a primary electron beam to a position deviated from an axis extended from an electron source toward the center of an objective lens and a second deflection field setting module that sets the plural deflectors so that trajectories of signal electrons are corrected without changing the scanning area set by the first deflection field setting module. The control unit controls the plural deflectors by adding a setting value set by the second deflection field setting module to a setting value set by the first deflection field setting module.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: HITACHI HIGH-TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Noritsugu Takahashi, Yasunari Sohda, Akira Ikegami, Yuta Kawamoto
