View menu
opens the Window menu functions:
Center Cross (Shift + F5)
places a cross in the center of all imaging displays. This function
is automatically used in Alignment procedures to aid the
centering of features and can be used to align a sample against a
stored image in another display.
Alignment Rectangle (Shift + F6)
places a dashed rectangle in the center of all electron imaging
displays. This function is automatically used for some Alignment
procedures.
CCD Axis Marker
places axes indicators in all optical imaging displays to help the
user with 3D orientation.
CCD 10 mm Marker
places a short horizontal line with a 10 mm label in all optical
imaging displays to help the user with positioning a sample to a
correct working distance and with the first focusing. Only a
Supervisor is allowed to change the marker position by double-
clicking on a new position.
Crosshair Cursor
shows the cursor as a rectangular cross through the entire display.
Working Distance Indicator
Checking this item displays the working distance indicator within
the optical display.
The small green triangle on the left of the vertical line depicts the actual working distance. The marked positions on
the right are dynamically changed according to imaging conditions. They correspond to different applications and
are described via the tooltip. If an imaging within specific working distance range is not optimal or possible, the
green line turns to gray.
Note
The BSE range is shown only when the feature is installed on the system (see the
Compound Lens Filter
module below).
