💡 Specimen Shift and Tilt

Specimen Shift (Motor Driven) (X/Y)

  1. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage: X/Y] Check specimen position
  2. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage] Select movement speed
    1. Becomes faster in the order of ▶⇒▶▶⇒▶▶▶
  3. Move specimen with [TB: Trackball]
    1. Move independently for each axis with [TB : SHIFT +X/-X/+Y/-Y] buttons
  4. Coarse/Fine (Movement Speed) Switching
    1. Switch with [TB: CRS]. When lit: Coarse
    2. [TB: CRS] is common to specimen shift (SHIFT-X/Y/Z:TILT-X/Y) and specimen tilt
  5. Initialize Specimen Position (X/Y)
    1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → STAGE
    2. Display Stage Controller
    3. Select [XY Neutral]
    4. Confirm with [TC: TEM System Task Ba : Stager]

Specimen Shift (Piezo Driven) (SFX/SFY)

  1. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage: SFX/SFY] Check specimen position
    1. Relative position based on X/Y. ~±100% (0.2um)
  2. [TB: SUPER FINE] Piezo drive mode switching: On when lit
  3. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage] Select movement speed
    1. Becomes faster in the order of ▶⇒▶▶⇒▶▶▶
  4. Move specimen with [TB: Trackball] or [TB : SHIFT +X/-X/+Y/-Y]
  5. Coarse/Fine (Movement Speed) Switching
    1. Switch with [TB: CRS]. When lit: Coarse
    2. [TB: CRS] is common to specimen shift (SHIFT-X/Y/Z:TILT-X/Y) and specimen tilt
  6. Initialize Specimen Position (SFX/SFY)
    1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → STAGE
    2. Display Stage Controller
    3. Select [SuperFIine Neutral]
    4. Confirm with [TC: TEM System Task Ba : Stager]

Specimen Tilt (TX/TY)

  1. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage: TX/TY] Check specimen tilt
  2. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage] Select movement speed
    1. Becomes faster in the order of ▶⇒▶▶⇒▶▶▶
  3. Tilt specimen with [SC : TILT +X/-X/+Y/-Y] buttons
  4. Coarse/Fine (Movement Speed) Switching
    1. Switch with [TB: CRS]. When lit: Coarse
    2. [TB: CRS] is common to specimen shift (SHIFT-X/Y/Z:TILT-X/Y) and specimen tilt
  5. Initialize Specimen Tilt (TX/TY)
    1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → STAGE
    2. Display Stage Controller
    3. Select [TX/TY Neutral]
      1. Initialize for each axis
    4. Confirm with [TC: TEM System Task Ba : Stager]

Specimen Shift (Z)

  1. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage: Z] Check specimen height
  2. [TC: TEM System Task Bar : Stage] Select movement speed
    1. Becomes faster in the order of ▶⇒▶▶⇒▶▶▶
  3. Move specimen height with [SC :△Z/▽Z] buttons
  4. Coarse/Fine (Movement Speed) Switching
    1. Switch with [TB: CRS]. When lit: Coarse
    2. [TB: CRS] is common to specimen shift (SHIFT-X/Y/Z:TILT-X/Y) and specimen tilt
  5. Initialize Specimen Tilt (Z)
    1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → STAGE
    2. Display Stage Controller
    3. Select [Z Neutral]
    4. Confirm with [TC: TEM System Task Ba : Stager]

Stage Initialization

  1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → STAGE
  2. Display Stage Controller
  3. Select [Stage Neutral]
  4. Confirm with [TC: TEM System Task Ba : Stager]

Stage Position Memory/Recall

  1. Specimen Position Memory
    1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → Nanospace Map
      1. Display Nanospace Map
      2. Click [Memory] button
      3. The current holder position is memorized in the specimen position memory list.
        1. SFX/SFY are not memorized
        2. Add a comment in the Memo field if necessary
  2. Specimen Position Recall
    1. [TEM Center: Upper menu] Control → Nanospace Map
      1. Display Nanospace Map
      2. Select the specimen position from the specimen position memory list
      3. Detailed information is displayed in the specimen position information display area
      4. Click [Go] button
      5. The specimen position is recalled.
        1. Wait until the recall is complete.
        2. Do not operate [TB] or [SC] during recall.
