Samenvatting
Fast and reliable autofocus techniques are an important topic for automated scanning electron microscopy. In this paper, different autofocus techniques are discussed and applied to a variety of experimental through-focus series of scanning electron microscopy images with different geometries. The procedure of quality evaluation is described, and for a variety of scanning electron microscope samples it is demonstrated that techniques based on image derivatives and Fourier transforms are in general better than statistical, intensity and histogram-based techniques. Further, it is shown that varying of an extra parameter can dramatically increase quality of an autofocus technique.
