What to do if the specimen seems to be moving on the Zeiss Crossbeam 340 Desktop?
If the specimen seems to be moving on the Zeiss Desktop, it might be due to charging effects from a non-conducting specimen. To resolve this, ensure the specimen is properly conductive, optimize the specimen preparation, and apply a charge compensation method.
Why „Vac ready = OK“ is not shown after specimen exchange on Zeiss Crossbeam 340?
If the message „Vac ready = OK“ is not shown after specimen exchange, or is shown very late on the Zeiss Desktop, it could be due to a system vacuum issue caused by a vacuum leak at the chamber door or the gas ballast being activated at the rotary or scroll pump. Check the chamber door seal for cleanliness and replace it if necessary. Also, deactivate the gas ballast at the pre-vacuum pump.
What to do if the stage does not move on the Zeiss Crossbeam 340 Desktop?
If the stage of the Zeiss Desktop does not move, it may need to be initialized.
What to do if stored position cannot be approached correctly on Zeiss Crossbeam 340 Desktop?
If a stored position cannot be approached correctly on the Zeiss Desktop, the stage may need to be driven to a well-defined position by initialising it.
What to do if the microscope Zeiss Crossbeam 340 does not vent?
If the microscope Zeiss Desktop does not vent, check both the nitrogen and compressed air supplies.
How to troubleshoot if FIB-SEM Zeiss Crossbeam 340 is dead?
If the FIB-SEM Zeiss Desktop is dead, check the circuit breakers to ensure they are not tripped.
What to do if „Vac ready = OK“ is indicated abnormally fast on Zeiss Crossbeam 340 Desktop?
If the message „Vac ready = OK“ is indicated abnormally fast on the Zeiss Desktop, the penning gauge may not have been identified correctly. Restart the microscope.
What to do if gun vacuum is worse than 8 to 9 x 10-9 mbar on Zeiss Crossbeam 340?
If the gun vacuum is worse than 8 to 9 x 10-9 mbar on the Zeiss Desktop, the gun may have been switched off for safety reasons. Bakeout the gun head.
