2b. Chg-up Red.
When observing non-conductive samples in the [Standard] mode, brightness /
contrast can change over time (i.e. brightness change) or image can look shifted
unexpectedly (i.e. image deviation). In such cases, set the observation mode to
[Chg-up Red.].
When [Chg-up Red.] is selected, the [L] mark is displayed in the information area
located in the lower right part of the image observation area. (see 4.3.2)

3. Mix
BSE and SE signals can be mixed to show a composite image.
When [Mix] is selected, the [M] mark is displayed in the information area located in the
lower right part of the image observation area, even though any image mode BSE (i.e.
[COMPO], [Shadow 1], [Shadow 2] or [TOPO]) is selected. (see 4.3.2)
3a. Standard
This observation mode is suitable for observing either conductive or non-conductive
samples.
When [Standard] is selected, the [M] mark is displayed in the information area located
in the lower right part of the image observation area. (see 4.3.2)
