Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for characterizing a microlithography mask. In one aspect, in a method according to the invention, the mask (140, 240, 340, 740, 803) to be characterized is illuminated with light from a light source via an illumination optics unit (801), said light having a wavelength of less than 30 nm, wherein light that passes in a used beam path from the light source (705) via the mask to a sensor unit (770, 806) is evaluated, wherein, at least intermittently, a portion of the light emitted by the light source is outcoupled from the used beam path by means of a mirror array (130, 230, 330, 630, 730) having a multitude of independently adjustable mirror elements, and wherein, intermittently by means of the mirror array, all light is outcoupled from the used beam path for establishment of a defined illumination time of the sensor unit.
