A novel process for producing an electron source substrate is disclosed for formation of electron-emitting element at high efficiency with less shape irregularity. In the process, the region for electroconductive film formation is divided into plural subregions on which an electroconductive film is formed respectively. In forming the electroconductive film by application of plural liquids, the time interval between the application of the two drops is controlled to be larger than the time length necessary for suppressing the spreading of the succeedingly applied liquid within an allowable limit.

A scanning probe microscope is used to observe a sample. The same portion of a surface of the sample is scanned forward and backward using a probe. A first signal corresponding to a structure of the sample is detected from the probe during a period in which the probe scans the surface of the sample forward. A second signal corresponding to the structure of the sample is detected from the probe during a period in which the probe scans the surface of the sample backward. When a difference is caused in at least a portion between the first and second signals, the portion of one of the first and the second signals is replaced by a portion of the other signal to generate a corrected signal. An image of the sample is formed using the corrected signal.
