    摘要: The invention provides a method of determining a measure of a density of markers in a sample, and an apparatus arranged for performing said method. In particular said method comprising the steps of: irradiating an illumination region of the sample with light, wherein the markers present in the illumination region of the sample emit fluorescence light in response to the irradiation with light, detecting an intensity of the fluorescence light from a detection region of the sample, comprising at least a part of said the illumination region, irradiating an area within said detection region of the sample with a focused charged particle beam to deposit a dose of charged particles in said area, and determining a measure of the density of markers in said area using a change of the detected intensity of the fluorescence light as a function of the deposited dose of charged particles in said area.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for mutually aligning a scanning electron microscope SEM and a light microscope LM by creating a change (61) in the detected light signal of the light microscope LM by illuminating a substrate with an electron beam, correlating the position of the electron beam in the coordinate system of the scanning electron microscope SEM to the position of the observed change in the detected light signal in the coordinate system of the light microscope LM, and relatively shifting the scanning electron microscope SEM and the light microscope LM with respect to one another to a desired relative position of the coordinate systems (60, 62).
