Abstract

A particle beam device, in particular an electron beam device, is provided having a beam generator for generating a primary particle beam, an objective lens for focusing the primary particle beam onto an object, and a detector for detecting particles emitted by the object. The objective lens has at least one magnetic unit, with the magnetic unit generating at least one first crossover and at least one second crossover. The first crossover is arranged in the objective lens or in a region between the objective lens and the object. The second crossover is arranged at the object. The device permits the examination of the object using particles which have a low energy, with good imaging properties. A method for operating the particle beam device is also provided.
