Furthermore, in the case of the method, a sample is selected from the plurality of physical objects by using the several rules, with physical objects of the sample being marked in such a way that they can be subjected to a measurement, the rules being formed on the basis of the criterion that the number of measurements is reduced and redundant measurements are avoided, and it being possible in the case of the method for the several rules to be combined with one another and checked against one another. | |
