User Information Dear Users of the FE SEM Hitachi S-4800 at BRK 1235, Unfortunately, approximately twice a week or even more, our SEM is down due one particulate repetitive mistake: assembling the sample holder. We are using a new base of a sample holder and therefore, please familiarize yourself how the SEM sample holder should be assembled. The simple cartoon is attached and the print out is on the wall of the SEM prep lab, BRK 1233. Please ask the SEM support staff if you have any question. The wrong assembly results in dropping the sample holder in the SEM chamber. It takes about 4 hours to make the SEM operational again and the other several hours to operate the SEM normally at high voltages. This compromises the research of the other user. Please aware that now your account might be billed for the staff time to recover the system and the lost SEM time. However, as a bonus for the wrong assembling the sample holder, we will place your "design" on the Wall of Shame in BRK 1233.
