Hints or tips
1.
‘BRIGHTNESS’ knob (left console)
- CLOCKWISE (CW) – spread beam = decrease illumination
- ANTI-CLOCKWISE (ACW) – condense beam = increase illumination
2.
CRS button –any controls are in the coarse mode (16-fold change) when the nearby is
illuminated
3.

filament is turned off.
6.
In case of beam lost. Press ‘LF3’ button (left console). Reloads current saved alignment
settings for the microscope.
7.
‘Nanospace Map’ window: use it to move to specific areas on the stage and to memorize
different positions (select point, then click ‘Shoot’)
Red point = current position
Yellow square = memories
Green square = current selected position
Press Memory - position is stored. Text can be entered in the Memo column
To delete a position – select position from the list and press ‘Delete’
To move stage to position needed – left click on the map where you want to be and

8.
Do not change MAGNIFICATION when WOBBLER is on – microscope can glitch and
focusing become impossible. If that happened, close TEM Center and open it again
9.
It is good practice to protect the chip of the camera from excess illumination using the
‘Brightness MAG link’ facility (See TEM center).
Select a magnification of 25,000x
Set the illumination using the camera
Switch on ‘Brightness MAG link’ in the Illumination System window – the
illumination will now be maintained through the magnification range, up or down.
