Abstract

The invention relates to a method of examining a sample using a charged particle microscope, comprising the steps of providing a charged particle beam, as well as a sample, and scanning said charged particle beam over said sample. A first detector is used for detecting emissions of a first type from the sample in response to the beam scanned over the sample. Using spectral information of detected emissions of the first type, a plurality of mutually different phases are assigned to said sample. An image representation of said sample is provided, wherein said image representation contains different color hues. The color hues are selected from a pre-selected range of consecutive color hues in such a way that the selected color hues comprise mutually corresponding intervals within said pre-selected range of consecutive color hues.
