Abstract
An electron microscope includes an electron optical system, and a control unit that controls the electron optical system. The control unit performs processing for determining a standard deviation of a brightness distribution of an electron microscope image; processing for determining an optimum value of a parameter of the electron optical system such that the standard deviation becomes the maximum, by Gaussian process regression; and processing for capturing the electron microscope image with setting a value of the parameter to the optimum value. The control unit repeats the processing for determining the standard deviation, the processing for determining the optimum value, and the processing for capturing the electron microscope image to determine a value of the parameter.
