Axis
movements
The following overview shows the movement of the Z-, T-, and M-axis.
Axis stacking
The six axes of the 105-mm DC stage are stacked on each other in the following order: Z, T, M,
X, Y, R. That means all axes are stacked on the Z-axis. When the Z-axis is moved the whole stage
is moving. Only the M-axis can be moved without changing the position of the other axes. This
characteristic is used to adjust the eucentricity of the stage.
Eucentricity
A stage is eucentric when the selected sample feature stays in the centre of the screen during
stage tilt. In that case, the specimen detail is exactly in the tilt axis.
