3.1.7 Bringing the measuring surface into focus

Bring the measuring surface into focus by moving the optical tube up and down with the focusing

knob. Look into the eyepiece to make sure the cross-hairs are kept in ocular focus during this

focusing operation.

CAUTION

If moving the optical tube, be careful, especially if the workpiece is stepped or is secured with

fixing jigs, not to bump the workpiece.

3.1.8 Positioning the workpiece

Align the measuring direction of the workpiece with the traversing direction of the stage.

䋨䋱䋩

Follow the procedure in

"2.4.3 (1) Adjusting the reticle with the XY stage moving

directio

n".

䋨䋱䋩

Move the workpiece or the fixing jigs to align the measuring direction of the workpiece with the

cross-hair reticle.

After making the above adjustment, confirm that the workpiece is parallel with the traveling direction

by moving the XY stage.
