Operating procedures

  1. Before starting, check the power connection and equipment switch state;
  2. Power on host power of electron microscope;
  3. Operate XT-microscope software;
  4. Put clean sample into the sample chamber correctly, and then close the sample chamber;
  5. Pull the manual valve (EB) to a proper vacuum mode;
  6. Click the ‘vacuuming’ button to get vacuum condition;
  7. Adjustment parameters (accelerating voltage, the beam spot size, the magnification and the scanning rate, etc.);
  8. After observation and analysis, stop high-pressure first. Never deflate until the filament cooled down. Replace the sample.
  9. After experiment, set the system in the proper state (off mode, standby mode and night mode) according to its actual condition.
