Standard Magnification Version

range. The scale is 1 to 10, with 1 being the most sensitive. These values are selectable in
the Ion Milling Program.

Note: Termination thresholds vary greatly based upon material and the desired
perforation size. Experimentation with varying parameters is necessary to obtain the
optimum termination point for different types of materials.

Visual Monitoring

The progress of an ion milling operation is monitored visually by using the standard
magnification stereo microscope. The magnification range with 10X eyepieces is 7 –
45X.

Control System and Software

All operations are controlled using four independent software programs.

Ion Milling Program

Controls the milling operation. Allows the user to select milling parameters and

create the conditions necessary for manual or automatic operations.

Dewar Bakeout Program

Controls the heating process for maintaining the Dewar insulation and Zeolite®
desiccant. Opens the vacuum connection, raises the temperature, and controls

the time at temperature

Laser Detector Calibration

Program

Calibrates the laser detector according to the transmissive properties of the

window protecting the laser sensor. Allows the user to choose the minimum

and maximum sensitivity values.

Data Logging Program

Controls logging, retrieval, and display of milling parameters.
