The layer condition setting screen is indicated when selecting the INTERVAL Mode.
The INTERVAL Mode can make slide sections from
designated thickness of multiple layers from a sample block.
Layer 1: After rough cutting and polishing is conducted, a section slide is created. (The rough
cutting and polishing volumes are set in the section slide preparation condition.)
After the interval is cut, the Layer 2 and rest of the section preparation are operated with the
condition set in the screen. The sectioning condition of the interval operation is the same as the
polishing operation.
① Number of layers: Set the number of layers for
slide preparation. The numeric keypad will be indicated
when
the number part is touched.
Setting range: 2 to 100 (System without SS)
2 to 400 (System with SS)
② Interval:
Set the thickness of the layer to be discarded. The
numeric keypad will be indicated when
the number part is touched.
Setting range: 1 to 999 [µm

Slicing of the interval-cutting and sample section preparation modes of the second step
layer on are operated on the same position of the knife (position A).
In either case, the blade change is set in the slide section parameter of each block.
