    • Movement: x,y: +/- 65mm,; z: 0 to 100mm. 100mm is where the stage is all the way down; Tilt +/- 90 degree.
    • Heating Stage: Kammarath & Weiss 1000°C maximum
    • Integrated Stage for Raman
  • Vacuum: Sputter Ion Pump and Molecular Drag Pump
    • High Vacuum Mode: < 9×10-3Pa

    • Raman PC: Control FIVE
    • EDAX PC: TEAM for both EDS and EBSD
    • CL PC: DMS 3 with DigiScan II
  • Sample Requirements
    • Not for magnetic materials, especially powder samples.
    • Samples must be compatible with high vacuum, i.e., clean and dry. Samples should be handled with tweezers or gloves.
    • Sample surface needs to be conductive and connected to ground (that is the stage), if not, the surface should be coated with a conductive layer, such Au or Carbon, then apply a conductive tape, Copper or Carbon tape, connected to the SEM stub. The stub should be tightened by screw.
