The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for checking the signal path in a measuring system of the type having a collector for charged particles and an amplifier connected to its output to form a voltage or current signal. To permit sensitivity tests with currents on the order of 10-12 A and less, it is proposed that a capacitive current, produced by means of a influencing electrode situated in the vicinity of the charge collector, be fed into the charge collector. An electrode already present in the measuring system can be used as the influencing electrode.
