A video showing the insertion and removal of the specimen holder for the JEM-2100plus has been uploaded.

  • This is a process with many troubles, so we ask that beginners please check it carefully.
  • The process is significantly different from the JEM-2000EXII and EM-002B (involving switch operations).
    • If you insert or remove it while forgetting the switch operation, evacuation will stop.

When observing bulk ferromagnetic specimens, perform the insertion and removal of the holder at low-Mag (objective lens OFF). (Consult with the staff before introducing them into the TEM.)

When observing specimens dispersed in solvent (such as fine particles), please dry them overnight or longer in a vacuum desiccator, etc. Heating them, if possible, will ensure better results.
Gas adsorbed onto the specimen can cause contamination during observation and shorten the life of the ion pump.
