Abstract:
Charging areas in electron microscopy are identified by comparing images obtained in different frames. A difference image or one or more optical flow parameters can be used for the comparison. If charging is detected, electron dose is adjusted, typically just in specimen areas associated with charging. Dose is conveniently adjusted by adjusting electron beam dwell time. Upon adjustment, a final image is obtained, with charging effects eliminated or reduced.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the initial acquisition conditions include dwell times and CPB currents for the plurality of specimen locations, the comparing the first partial image and the second partial image identifies specimen locations associated with specimen charging, and based on the comparison, for the at least one identified specimen location, at least one of an alternative dwell time or an alternative beam current is selected to obtain the final specimen image.
