Specimen retraction
To prevent damage to the blade and specimen, the specimen is moved away
from the blade during the return motion to the upper home position.
The retraction value can be selected in 5 µm increments between 5 and
100 µm. Specimen retraction is set to 10 µm at the factory.
Specimen retraction can be disabled if required.
The selected setting is maintained when the instrument is turned off.
Caution!
When the instrument is switched off using the main power switch,
both values (section thickness sum and section number) are erased
from memory.
