A method for correcting astigmatism of an electronic optical column of an electron emission spectromicroscope, comprising the steps of: forming a reference structure on a surface of a sample comprising a structure of interest to be imaged, imaging the reference structure by the spectromicroscope with secondary electrons and with core level photoelectrons, eliminating astigmatism defects appearing during the imaging of the reference structure with secondary electrons and with core level photoelectrons, a material of the reference structure being chosen such that, during core level photoelectron imaging, the contrast C between the average intensity Ia of the material of the reference structure and the average intensity Ib of the material of the sample is such that: C = I a - I b I a + I b ≥ 0.2 .
