Abstract

A multiple particle beam microscope and an associated method set a desired focal plane with an optical resolution and set a telecentric irradiation with the plurality of the primary beams. A method determines an optimal setting plane, into which an object surface is brought. Further, a system provides an improved resolution and telecentric irradiation for a large number of primary beams. Targeted selection and targeted individual influencing of individual primary beams and/or a mechanism means for influencing the plurality of primary beams in collective fashion can be implemented.
