Abstract: We investigate the local topology of multiple point spaces in the image of a finite complex analytic map. In particular, we find examples of maps for which the constant sheaf on an image multiple point space of the map is perverse. These results are proved by the use of a spectral sequence which calculates the homology of the image of a continuous map.
