Abstract

A method of characterizing a detection path in a charged particle beam system having a primary charged particle beam, comprising positioning a charged particle mirror having a curved equipotential surface on a sample stage of the charged particle beam system; varying a reflection angle of the primary charged particle beam at the curved equipotential surface by varying a relative mirror position of the charged particle mirror, the curved equipotential surface being at a distance to a surface of the charged particle mirror, recording a plurality of detector signals of at least one detector of the charged particle beam system for a plurality of relative mirror positions; wherein varying a relative mirror position of the charged particle mirror comprises varying at least one of a mirror position of the charged particle mirror and a primary charged particle beam position with respect to each other in at least one dimension.
