Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting position deviation of an electron gun in which, by increasing the light utilization efficiency to render the field of sight lighter and by reducing the amount of reflected light from the grid surface, the reflected light from the electron beam emitting surface is lighter to enable an edge of an electron beam transmitting hole to be discerned accurately to detect the position deviation of the electron gun accurately. The linear polarized light is illuminated on the electron gun and the light reflected by this electron gun is observed by a light polarization unit to detect the position deviation between grids of the electron gun.
