    Abstract: The present invention concerns a charged-particle multi-beamlet system that comprises a source of charged particles (301); a first multi-aperture plate (320) having plural apertures disposed in a charged particle beam path of the system downstream of the source; a first multi-aperture selector plate (313) having plural apertures; a carrier (340), wherein the first multi-aperture selector plate is mounted on the carrier; and an actuator (350) configured to move the carrier such that the first multi-aperture selector plate is disposed in the charged particle beam path of the system downstream of the source in a first mode of operation of the system, and such that the first multi-aperture selector plate is disposed outside of the charged particle beam path in a second mode of operation of the system. The source, the first multi-aperture plate and the carrier of the system are arranged such that a first number of charged particle beamlets is generated at a position downstream of both the first multi-aperture plate and the first multi-aperture selector plate in the first mode of operation, and that a second number of charged particle beamlets is generated at the position in the second mode of operation, wherein the first number of beamlets differs from the second number of beamlets.

    Abstract: A test object for testing a multiple beam system is provided. The test object includes multiple regions, each made up of multiple fields, each of which includes multiple sub-fields, each of which includes multiple structural elements. The location and number of sub-fields of at least one field corresponds to the number of beams of an array of beams of the multiple beam system and to an expected spatial relationship between the beams of the array of beams. Various scanning patterns can be applied in order to allow the array of beams to scan the entire field. Images of the subfields obtained using the multiple beam system are used to evaluate spatial or optical characteristics thereof.
