A scanning particle beam instrument (10) is provided, the instrument including a scanner (30,32), a radiation detector (34) and a DC amplifier (36), the DC amplifier being operable to amplify a signal generated by the radiation detector (34) to produce a video signal, the instrument further including a controller (38) operable to so direct the beam relative to a specimen, or to determine when the beam is so directed relative to a specimen, that an actual video signal produced by the DC amplifier may be compared with a desired video signal, to compare actual and desired video signals and to adjust a DC offset of the DC amplifier so as to reduce a difference between the signals. Also provided is a method of producing a video signal using such an instrument. |
