Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for approaching a microcontact needle along an approach direction to an approach target object. The approach target object is, in particular, another microcontact needle or a component for an electrical or electronic circuit. The method uses a particle beam microscope. The particle beam microscope comprises a positioning device configured to move the microcontact needle along the approach direction relative to the approach target object. The method includes: capturing multiple images, each depicting the approach target object and the microcontact needle, from different viewing directions using the particle beam microscope.The method further includes: controlling the positioning device based on the recorded images such that the positioning device either moves the microcontact needle along the approach direction relative to the approach target object or maintains a positioning of the microcontact needle along the approach direction relative to the approach target object.
