Abstract: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput and in flexibly varying observing conditions is proposed. The apparatus uses a movable collimating lens to flexibly vary the currents of the plural probe spots without influencing the intervals thereof, a new source-conversion unit to form the plural images of the single electron source and compensate off-axis aberrations of the plural probe spots with respect to observing conditions, and a pre-beamlet-forming means to reduce the strong Coulomb effect due to the primary-electron beam.

Abstract: A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with high resolution and high throughput is proposed. In the apparatus, a source-conversion unit changes a single electron source into a virtual multi-source array, a primary projection imaging system projects the array to form plural probe spots on the sample, and a condenser lens adjusts the currents of the plural probe spots. In the source-conversion unit, the image-forming means is on the upstream of the beamlet-limit means, and thereby generating less scattered electrons. The image-forming means not only forms the virtual multi-source array, but also compensates the off-axis aberrations of the plurality of probe spots.

Abstract: A multi-beam particle microscope includes first particle optics in order to direct particle beams onto an object, a detector with detection regions, with a transducer being assigned to each detection region, and a data acquisition system, which has a control computer system, image recording computer systems and a screen. The image recording computer systems receive electrical signals from the transducers and generates a first file, which represents a high resolution image, and a second file, which represents a low resolution image. The control computer system maintains a data structure which represents an assignment of transducers to two-dimensional spatial vectors and depicts the images on the screen, wherein a reference point in each image is arranged on the screen in a coordinate system of the screen at a location which is defined by a sum of a leading vector, which is the same for all images, and the spatial vector.
