The conventional detection technique has the following problems in detecting interference fringes: (1) Setting and adjustment are complex and difficult to conduct; (2) A phase image and an amplitude image cannot be displayed simultaneously; and (3) Detection efficiency of electron beams is low. The invention provides a scanning interference electron microscope which is improved in detection efficiency of electron beam interference fringes, and enables the user to observe electric and magnetic information easily in a micro domain of a specimen as a scan image of a high S/N ratio under optimum conditions.
