1. Start up
Execute the beam alignments in zoom mode. (See the manual above)
Place the beam through the hole in the sample and increase magnification to 150kX. Remove all
apertures, center the beam, and go to crossover.
Depress [ANA-1] and reset.
2. Correct condenser astigmatism(Magnification : 100K ~ 200K)
Using the condenser stigmators (right sub panel) make the caustic as round as possible and using the
3rd order stigmators (left sub panel) make the caustic as symmetrical as possible.
The 3rd order correction will be slight and the controls should be close to the center positions. Be sure
to use the correct 3rd order stigmators for the selected mode: TEM and ANA mode.
The correctly aligned caustic will appear as a circle with the Star of David in the center in TEM mode
and it has the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz star in Analysis mode.
