Controls the X- and Y-axes and the
stage rotation by turning.
Function
All axes are deflection-compensated. When the joystick is moved only slightly, the respective axis
moves slowly. Larger movements of the joystick result in a faster movement of the stage.
The X-, Y-, and Z-axes are magnification-compensated. When working at a low magnification, the
stage moves relatively fast. At higher magnifications the stage movement is slower. The stage is
moving with its maximum speed when viewing the specimen with the CCD (Charge Coupled De-
vice) camera.
The different axes can also be moved simultaneously.
