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; scanning said charged particle beam over said sample; and detecting, using a first detector, emissions of a first type from the sample in response to the beam scanned over the sample. Spectral information of detected emissions of the first type is used for assigning a plurality of mutually different phases to said sample. In a further step, a corresponding plurality of different color hues—with reference to an HSV color space—are associated to said plurality of mutually different phases. Using a second detector, emissions of a second type from the sample in response to the beam scanned over the sample are detected. Finally an image representation of said sample is provided.
