5.4.6 Choosing the LaB₆ Mode
SmartSEM offers two modes for running the LaB₆ filament:
§
Normal
mode for ultimate resolution
Normal
mode is mainly used by experienced users to achieve the ultimate resolution and/or
to have continuous control of the beam settings. The filament lifetime will however be gener-
ally reduced in this mode, due to the use of relatively high acceleration voltages, beam and fil-
ament currents (up to 30 kV, 40 µA and 2.050 A).
§
Long Fil. Life
mode for longer filament lifetime
Long Fil. Life
mode has a slightly reduced resolution but the filament lifetime is increased
due to the use of lower filament currents (around 1.950 A). The
Long Fil. Life
mode is the
preferred mode for most applications.
Procedure
1. Toggle the
Long Fil. Life
checkbox to switch
between the two modes.
INFO:
This applies to both LaB₆ variants (1 mm
and 1.5 mm Wehnelt bore diameter).
