Abstract
Abstract A resistance for adjusting the bias voltage is provided in a high voltage source, a high DC voltage being applied to the resistance, and the high DC voltage and bias voltage are applied to the filament and Wehnelt electrode, respectively, of an electron gun in an electron microscope through a high-voltage cable including two core lines whose resistance value is high enough to reduce surge voltage.
