Abstract: A method for measuring an electron signal or an electron induced signal may be provided. The method may include providing a threshold number of events or a threshold event rate for a pixel on a detector. The method may include collecting from the detector the threshold number of events or determining that the threshold event rate is achieved, wherein a signal at the detector is an electron signal or an electron induced signal from a sample. The method may include modulating an intensity of an electron source directed to the sample in response.

Abstract: A device may include an electron source, a detector, and a deflector. The electron source may be directed toward a sample area. The detector may receive an electron signal or an electron-induced signal. A deflector may be positioned between the electron source and the sample. The deflector may modulate an intensity of the electron source directed to the sample area according to an electron dose waveform having a continuously variable temporal profile.
