Abstract
A method for operating a particle beam apparatus. An objective lens current may be swept, and a property of a deflection unit and/or of an aperture unit may be set while the objective lens current is swept. Setting the property may implemented in such a way that either an image of the object displayed on a display device does not move or any such movement of the displayed image has a minimal deflection. Moreover, the operating voltage of a beam generator may be swept and the object may be aligned by means of a specimen stage. While the operating voltage is swept, the specimen stage may be moved into an aligned position in such a way that either the image of the object displayed on the display device does not move or any such movement of the displayed image has a minimal deflection.
