Abstract

With the method and apparatus for the detection and/or imaging of a measuring point which carries a voltage at least of a specific frequency, wherein, in a scanning particle or radiation microscope, a voltage contrast signal is further processed into a measuring signal by a lock-in amplifier, a spectral analysis of a voltage carried at the measuring point is possible even when one or more frequencies from the spectrum of this signal are unknown. A reference signal is supplied to the lock-in amplifier at a frequency fb which is varied over a frequency range. A signal regarding the magnitude of the frequency fb of the reference signal is transmitted to a device for the recording of the measuring signal so that the measuring signal can be indicated in dependence upon the frequency fb of the reference signal.
