A charged particle beam device includes: a charged particle source; an acceleration electric power source connected to the charged particle source for accelerating a charged particle beam emitted by the acceleration electric power source; and an objective lens for focusing the charged particle beam onto a sample, the objective lens including: a central magnetic pole having a central axis coinciding with an ideal optical axis of the charged particle beam; an upper magnetic pole; a cylindrical side-surface magnetic pole; and a disk-shaped lower magnetic pole, the central magnetic pole having an upper portion on a side of the sample and a column-shaped lower portion, the upper magnetic pole having a circular opening at a center thereof and being in a shape of a disk that is tapered to a center thereof and that is thinner at a position closer to a center of gravity of the central magnetic pole.
