The invention provides a method of determining a measure of a density of markers in a sample, and an apparatus arranged for performing said method. In particular said method comprising the steps of: irradiating an illumination region of the sample with light, wherein the markers present in the illumination region of the sample emit fluorescence light in response to the irradiation with light, detecting an intensity of the fluorescence light from a detection region of the sample, comprising at least a part of said the illumination region, irradiating an area within said detection region of the sample with a focused charged particle beam to deposit a dose of charged particles in said area, and determining a measure of the density of markers in said area using a change of the detected intensity of the fluorescence light as a function of the deposited dose of charged particles in said area. |
