ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and to a device (1) for producing an image of an object (5) by means of a particle beam. According to the method and in the device (1), the particle beam is scanned by the object (5). The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a device for producing an image of an object (5) by means of a particle beam that can be used with a cold field emitter (2) in such a manner that a good image quality is constantly ensured. Said aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that, according to the invention, when a radiation parameter is altered, the object (5) is rescanned preferably with the corrected parameter. The inventive device (1) comprises the corresponding means (4, 6, 7) therefor.
