  8. Focusing/stigma correction
    1. [PANEL-R:OBJ Focus] Focusing
    2. [PANEL-L: DEF/STIG: COND STIG] Focusing lens astigmatism adjustment mode selection
    3. [PANEL-L/R: DEF/STIG-X/Y] Adjust to minimize image flow
    4. [TC:STEM Image Viewer : Preset Mode : Focus Mode] Scan speed selection (for focusing)
    5. Repeat a-c to get the sharpest image
  9. photograph
