Abstract
In the scanning electron microscope 10, the electron beam B is emitted to the specimen 2. When the electron beam B strikes the specimen 2, the specimen 2 reflects the electron beam as reflected primary electrons and generates secondary electrons. Those electrons are detected by the electron detector 14, which in turn produces a reflection image of the specimen 2. The electron multiplier 1 is used for this scanning electron microscope 10. The electron multiplier 1 includes the electron reflection plate 7 which receives the electron beam B when the electron beam B passes by or passes through the specimen 2. Upon receipt of the electron beam B, the electron reflection plate 7 reflects the electron beam B as reflected primary electrons and generates secondary electrons. The microchannel plate 3 is formed with a multiplicity of channels 31 for multiplying the reflected primary electrons and the secondary electrons.
