ABSTRACT:
In a device for examining a specimen with an electron beam, in particular an SEM, TEM, or CSEM, contamination products are often result from the irradiation. To reduce these contamination products, the surface of the object irradiated with the electron beam is simultaneously illuminated with light, in particular with UV light.
