Move the specimen head to the position at which to start sectioning.
The easiest way to move the specimen head is to press the home
position key on the left panel to move the specimen head to the
preset sectioning start position. Refer to p. 1-34 if you want to change
the home position setting.
Press the home position key when the specimen head is at the
handwheel lock tab position. If the specimen head is not at the
lock position, an error sound is output as the home position key
is pressed and the specimen head does not move.
To fine-tune the position after pressing the home position key, press
the R key and F key to adjust the position.
Pressing the R key moves the specimen head backward. Pressing
the F key moves the specimen head forward.
The specimen head moves 10 µm every time each key is pressed.
Press and hold the key, and the specimen head moves further.
