A Monte-Carlo model of an SEM image and spectra formation has been developed. Computer-aided measurement systems theory and morphological image analysis were applied for the signal processing. It is shown that the methods improve detectors' and sensors' characteristics. Morphological analysis increases the accuracy of the objects' size and position measurement.
