A part failed in the deposition gun – the depo gun is unusable. I ordered the repair part but it might take up to 80 days to arrive.
The FIB can be used for milling but we cannot do any lift-out work until the depo gun is working.

There is a problem with the ESEM. It can’t be used until we can look at it on Monday.
I’ve repaired the EDS and it appears to be working correctly now. I’m watching it for signs of the original problem.
Looks like I sent a notice out there that the ESEM was down. It’s online now and being used.
There is a problem keeping the EDS online. I am waiting on a repair part now.
The ESEM is currently down. Jerry will be working on it Monday morning. We will update when we know more.
The STEM is back online now and ready for use. We will pick up with the current reservations.
There was a power outage last night that has caused a problem with the STEM beam. We cancelled this mornings reservations and Pinaki is working on it. Hopefully its ready for this afternoon session. We will update at noon.
I have found a bug in the logbook software. For longer sessions the when you go to logout, the system tries to log you in again (rather than out). If this happens to you just finish logging in then immediately log out. Then send me an email with your session time. This is an important step.
New software is coming soon.
This is just a reminder that the ACMAL facilities will be CLOSED Thursday, July 4, 2019. This is a University Closed Holiday so the building will also be locked.
Only those with swipe access will be able to use the instruments.
Please plan your instrument use accordingly.
