Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for examining a measurement object (2, 12), in which the measurement object (2, 12) is examined by means of scanning probe microscopy using a measurement probe (10) of a scanning probe measurement device, and in which at least one subsection (1) of the measurement object (2, 12) is optically examined by an optical measurement system in an observation region associated with the optical measurement system, wherein a displacement of the at least one subsection (1) of the measurement object (2, 12) out of the observation region which is brought about by the examination by means of scanning probe microscopy is corrected in such a way that the at least one displaced subsection (1) of the measurement object (2, 12) is arranged back in the observation region by means of a readjustment device which processes data signals that characterize the displacement.
