OPERATION OF THE PHILIPS CM-200 FEG-TEM

When not in use, the CM-200 should be in the MICROSCOPE ON configuration with the HIGH
TENSION ON (illuminates green when the high tension is on).
. The microscope is normally never turned off.

Preliminary
• Add liquid Nitrogen to the Dewar next to the sample holder. (Anticontamination device:) Place the
metal-clad glass vacuum dewar into its holder to the right of the column so that the soft copper wire
"beard" hangs inside it. The glass viewi

monitor screen will automatically open to the HOLDER SELECTION PAGE. Press the appropriate key (in most cases you'll choose NO COMPUSTAGE B TILT) and then press the READY button (below the data monitor screen). The data monitor screen will return to the previously selected page (normally TEM BRIGHTFIELD).) (iii) After the red indicator light goes out, grip the specimen holder firmly by its black plastic handle and rotate it counterclockwise to 6:00 o'clock position. When it reaches the li

2.13 If the operator intends to expose TEM negatives using the built-in camera, it is best to ensure that the CCD camera is retracted and shut off so that it cannot interfere with the shutter mechanism. Using the Mac computer, whose CRT and keyboard rest on top on the CM-200 operating console, the operator may open Digital Micrograph (if it is not already open), select MSC from the top toolbar, and from that pull-down menu click to retract the CCD camera. The CCD camera control unit, which

(i) On the lower right-hand side of the page, select CURR (under rot center VOLT CURR) so that it becomes highlighted. This will cause the objective lens current to modulate (the inner STEP SIZE knob adjusts the amplitude of modulation). If the chosen feature shifts off center laterally, the beam is not aligned along the optical axis of the microscope and must be corrected. (ii) Use the MULTIFUNCTION X/Y knobs to stabilize the feature at the center of the screen, eliminating all lateral mo
