Zusammenfassung:A detector for a charged particle beam device includes a substrate, a number of first sensor devices provided on the substrate, wherein the first sensor devices are structured to be sensitive to and generate a first signal in response to electrons ejected by a specimen, and a number of second sensor devices provided on the substrate, wherein the second sensor devices are structured to be sensitive to and generate a second signal in response to photons emitted by the specimen. Also, a photon detector wherein each of the photon sensor devices is structured to be sensitive to and generate a signal in response to photons emitted by the specimen, and wherein each of the photon sensor devices comprises a MultiPixel Photon Counter device. Further, a method of imaging a specimen using a charged particle beam device uses beam blanking and determination of estimated a decay time constants.
