    • An electron microscope (100) includes: an electronic optical system (20) that irradiates a specimen (S) with an electron beam and forms an image using electrons transmitted through the specimen (S); a camera (40) that includes an image sensor (42) and outputs a frame image which is based on a signal obtained by electrons entering each cell of the image sensor (42); and a computation unit (60) that generates an image based on the frame image, wherein the computation unit (60) performs processing for: setting a threshold; and binarizing the frame image using the threshold, and generating the image based on the binarized frame image, and in the processing for setting the threshold, the computation unit (60) repeatedly performs processing for (i) setting a tentative threshold, (ii) acquiring a plurality of the frame images obtained on a condition that electrons entering the image sensor follow Poisson process, (iii) binarizing each of the plurality of acquired frame images using the tentative threshold, (iv) generating an integrated image by integrating the plurality of binarized frame images, and (v) obtaining a normalized constant based on a mean and variance of pixel values of pixels of the integrated image, with the tentative threshold being differed each time of the processing, and the computation unit (60) obtains an optimal threshold based on the plurality of obtained normalized constants and sets the optimal threshold as the threshold.

    • Disclosed herein is a non-transitory computer readable medium that has stored therein a computer program, wherein the computer program comprises code that, when executed by a computer system, instructs the computer system to perform a method of determining the charging induced distortion of a SEM image, the method comprising: determining, at each of a plurality of locations in a SEM image of at least part of a sample, a deflection of an illuminating charged particle beam caused by a charging of the sample at the location; and determining the charging induced distortion of the SEM image in dependence on the determined deflections at each of the plurality of locations in the SEM image. Block 3001: measuring distortion imaging error of the SEM image; block 3002: optionally further step on imaging error; either error from block 3001 or block 3002 used, in block 3003, in comparison with modelled charging induced distortions; block 3007: fixed and variable parameters of model of charging induced distortions determined; block 3005: model in dependence on the parameters; block 3006: optionally (e.g. 6 parameter polynomial fit correction); block 3003: comparison between model and imaging error; if measured remaining error at converged minimum level and/or below predetermined threshold, then stopped and determination made that variable parameters of model are suitable for achieving desired reduction or substantial correction of charging induced error in the SEM image; if measured remaining error not at a converged minimum level and/or not below predetermined threshold, continue at block 3008
