A novel technique is presented, that allows a spatially resolved photoionization-yield measurement of gas-phase ions created in the interaction volume of an intense-laser focus. The method termed 'ion microscopy' thus overcomes the limitations usually imposed by the integration of the ion yield over the focal volume. Moreover, the new technique represents a precise tool for non invasive, in situ focus diagnostics and is applied to characterize the focal geometry of focused XUV-radiation generated at the FLASH facility in Hamburg.
