Abstract
A particle beam apparatus is used for imaging, processing and/or analyzing an object. A computer program product may be used to facilitate imaging, processing and/or analyzing the object. A magnification may be chosen from a first magnification range of the particle beam apparatus by driving a first amplifier unit and a second amplifier unit. If it is established that there are prerequisites which would actually result in the particle beam apparatus being switched to a different magnification from a second magnification range, the switching is avoided by feeding an analog amplifier signal from an amplifier unit to a scanning unit of the particle beam apparatus, guiding the particle beam over the object using the scanning unit, and imaging, processing and/or analyzing the object with the particle beam.
