In an electron microscope, having intermediate lenses between the object and the projection lenses, the first and second intermediate lenses are used for rotating the final electron microscope image without changes in magnification. The desired angle signal indicating to azimuth angle .theta. is designated by an operator. The absolute magnetomotive force .vertline.J1.vertline. and .vertline.J2.vertline. of the first and second intermediate lenses are controlled by a lens control means in the relation that (.vertline.J1.vertline.-.vertline.J2.vertline.) is proportional to the azimuth angle .theta. and (.vertline.J1.vertline.+.vertline.J2.vertline.) is nearly proportional to the square of the azimuth angle .theta..
