Because sample tilt affects the
take-off angle and hence the
Bremsstrahlung background, its value
affects the quantification results.
checked to maintain communication between the
microscope and the ESPRIT software, otherwise
relevant microscope parameters for image scaling
and quantitative analysis will no
t be transferred to
ESPRIT. The communication is set up during
installation and automatically enabled after starting
ESPRIT.
If the communication is disturbed or not available
with the current type of microscope, the m
icroscope
data has to be entered manually. To disable
automatic data transfer intentionally, uncheck the
control box Communication active.
Sample tilt [°].
If the sample is tilted, the value of
the sample tilt (in degrees) has to be en
tered in this
field manually.
Additional tilt correction.
Check this option, if the
sample is tilted and the microscope has no image tilt
correction capability. This is recommended when
performing EBSD analysis using large tilt angles to
correct image dis
tortion of microscope images,
element or orientation maps.

The Scan configurator
displays the scanning
parameters:
 Image resolution: Image size in pixels
 Dwell time: Signal collection time of a single pixel during
image acquisition
 Frame time
 Drift qual.: Quality of image shift calculation
 Drift range: Absolute value of current image shift
The parameter to be displayed ca
n be set by the user
by clicking with the right mouse key on the displayed
value in the configurator and selecting the desired
parameter in the Select entry menu.
When clicking on the icon in
the bottom left
corner of the Scan configurator, the
SCAN
CONFIGURATION dialog pops up.
Image resolution.
The entered value applies to the
x-
axis of the image. Since the aspect ratio of the
image is defined by the microscope and set during
installation, the value for the y-
axis is set
automatically and is not displayed.
