Abstract

The invention relates to a method for describing a predetermined desired course (1) with a beam of particles or waves, wherein a movable beam-directing device influences the direction of the beam, so that the latter describes an actual course (3, 4). The deviation of the actual course (3, 4) from the desired course due to inertia is minimized by specifying a corrected desired course (2), which describes diversions at the point of direction changes. The invention also relates to the use of this method for laser structuring or for writing guard plates or dial plates.
