Abstract
An electron beam generator includes a cathode having a distal end portion emitting an electron beam, a first electrode accommodating the distal end portion, and a second electrode surrounding the first electrode when viewed from a direction along an emission axis of the electron beam. The first electrode has a first side wall surrounding the distal end portion. The second electrode has a second side wall separated from the first side wall and surrounding the first side wall. The first side wall is provided with a first opening portion allowing a first space surrounded by the first side wall and a second space between the first side wall and the second side wall to communicate with each other. The second electrode is provided with a second opening portion opening in the direction along the emission axis such that the second space and an external space communicate with each other.
