ZEISS
5.4.7 Setting up the LaB₆ Source
Procedure
1. From the
Panel Configuration Bar
, select
Aperture Align
.
à
The
Aperture Align
window is displayed.
2. To set the
Aperture Align
value to zero, click the
0
button.
3. From the
SEM Controls
panel, select the
Apertures
tab.
4. From the
Optibeam
drop-down list, select
Optibeam = Resolution
.
5. Select the correct mid-column aperture from the
Aperture Size
drop-down list.
Info:
For VP and EP systems make sure that the
EasyVP
aperture is fitted. The
EasyAlign
aperture needs to be fitted on HV tools.
6. In the
Gun
tab set the
EHT Target
to
20 kV
.
7. Set the
I Probe
value to
100 pA
.
8. If using the long filament life mode is preferred:
– Set the
Beam Current
value to
40 µA
.
– Set the
Filament I target
to
2.050 A
.
– Switch to the long filament life mode by ticking the
Long Fil. Life
box on the
Gun
tab.
– Turn the
Beam = On
.
– Go to the
Apertures
tab and click
Emission
.
– Adjust the
Contrast
until the emission can clearly be seen.
– Then go to step 17 and continue with the alignment of the beam.
9. If using the normal mode is required, ensure that checking the filament saturation and the
beam alignment is done frequently (once per day) and follow the steps below.
10. Set the
Beam Current
value to
20 µA
(requires changing the default value, i.e. 40 µA).
11. Set the
Filament I target
around or below the first peak such as 1.55 A (1550 mA).
12. Turn the
Beam=On
.
13. Go to the
Apertures
tab and click
Emission
.

dersaturated at 1.539 A
14. Adjust the
Contrast
until the emission can clearly be seen.
