I’ll keep you updated.

The JEOL TEM shut off over the weekend and now the ion pump needs to be conditioned. It will be back online for TEM course practicals tomorrow.
I’m planning to install the SEM stage on the FIB this Friday afternoon and I’ll need to do a week of work with it. Please let me know right away if that will cause you a problem.
The 6400 is working now. I pulled and re-seated circuit boards and it began working again. Not sure how long it will work but let’s use it.
Same problem with gun alignment error. I’ll work on it tomorrow morning.
Danielle got the ion mill back online. Ready to use.
Shouldn’t be a big deal. Waiting on call from company.
I got the system working again this morning. It is okay to use it. The problem was that the gun alignment would go wonky and signal would drop to zero – no SE image. If you see anything like this stop and let me know.
There is a problem with the gun alignment circuit. I let you know how the repair goes.
And ready for use.
