Abstract

See full text

The system described herein relates to analyzing an object using a charged particle beam device generating a beam of charged particles and to the charged particle beam device for analyzing the object. A part of an image of the object corresponding to a volume unit surface of a volume unit is segmented into an area having a first color level and a second color level as well corresponding area fractions are determined. A plurality of particles with color levels are identified by comparing the color levels with the information stored in a database. By comparing the color levels, it is possible to identify the potential particles, for example minerals, which may be included in the volume unit.
