ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of observing a specimen in a field of view of an electron microscope comprising the acts of illuminating the specimen with an electron beam having a first angle and forming a first transmission image of the specimen in the field of view and adjusting the electron beam to a second angle and forming a second transmission image of the specimen in the field of view and calculating a degree of coincidence between the first and second transmission images.
