    Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting one or more modes of an inspection subsystem or system for inspection of a specimen are provided. The systems described herein are configured to acquire output for all of the modes to be considered at a location of a known defect on the specimen by aligning output, which is generated at the location with a mode known to generate output in which patterned features on the specimen are resolved to a degree that allows the output to be aligned to design data, with the design data for the specimen to identify the location with substantially high accuracy and then without moving the field of view of the inspection subsystem or system from that location, acquiring the output for all other modes. All of the acquired output can then be used to select mode(s) for inspection of the specimen or another specimen of the same type.

    Abstract: Method has laser scanner for pixel-precise imaging of fluorescent samples having fluorescent dyes. The scanner has sample table, laser and first optical system providing laser beam for exciting the samples, scanner head with deflecting element for scanning sample, first lens, second optical system for forwarding emission beams triggered by the laser beam and deflected by first lens and deflecting element to a detector, position encoder emitting position signals indicating location of the scanner head, electronic element for filtering the detector signals with a time constant and an A/D converter for digitizing the filtered detector signals. The filtered detector signals and the position encoder signals are acquired independently, in parallel and continuously by a computer and are related to a common time base, the A/D conversion being carried out often so that each pixel of an image is always assigned more than one data point.
