B) Starting your session
1.
Check if a notice with special instructions is on the table
(e.g., in case of an
outage, a problem with a detector, etc.).
2. Turn ON both computer screens.
3. Ensure that nothing is currently running (e.g., overnight EDS element map work). If
an analysis is still running
(e.g., mosaic BSE or EDS mapping on the right computer)
, contact the former
user, and see if you can wait for the completion or if you can cancel the analysis.
4. Turn ON the infrared camera (“Deben”, small screen on the left;
Fig. 8
).

5. If a sample is currently loaded in the SEM, you will need to remove it (
Section C
).
6. Prepare your sample (
Fig. 9
): choose the thin-section or the 1-inch round mount.
WARNING!
If your sample does not fit the thin section or the 1’’ round holder, you MUST
contact the lab manager or the assistant before continuing!
7. Proceed to the sample loading (see
Section C
).
