Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method in which labels are introduced in a sample, a flat surface is prepared on the sample and a series of images is made of the sample surface with e.g. a scanning electron microscope. The labels may be gold labels or e.g. fluorescent labels. By removing a surface layer between obtaining each image, labels at the surface in one image will be removed and will not be visible in a subsequent image. Thereby a 3D reconstruction of the position of labels in the sample can be made.
