Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve total throughput of a scanning electron microscope. SOLUTION: Information related to a sample such as height of the sample, alignment information or the like are obtained from the sample 5 housed in a load lock part 15 by sample information obtaining means like height detecting equipment or an optical microscope 30 arranged on the load lock part 15, in parallel with pressure reduction work executed when transferring the sample 5 from the load lock part 15 to a sample chamber 22.
