Such a change is prevented by not using the focus controls or other SEM electronic controls after photographing the stage micrometer scale except to focus using the x, y and z controls of the stage. Appropriate manipulation

If the calibration micrograph of the stage micrometer scale and the mic

The use of resin-coated paper is advised. 7 Preparation of cross-sections Prepare the test specimen so that ai the cross-section is perpendicular

If abrasive particles do become embedded, they may be removed by applying a short, light hand polish with metal polish after grinding and before diamond finishing or by one or more cyclec

A.3.2 Because the magnification of an SEM can change spontaneously with time and can change as a result of changing other instrument settings, it is advisable to calibrate the instrument immediately before or after measurement of the test specimen. For critical me

This ensures that MI change in the magnification has occurred and provides information on the precision of the calibration. A.2 Grinding and polishing A.2.1 It is essential to keep

32、 the cross-section surface of the mount perpendicular to the coating. This is facilitated by incor- porating additional pieces of a similar metal in the plastic mounting near the outer edges, by periodically changing the direction of grinding (rotating through Wo), and by keeping the grinding time a

Grind the mounted specimens on suitable abrasive paper, using an acceptable lubricant such as water or white spirit, and apply minimum pres

Subse- A.3.3 If the video waveform trace is measured, the measure- ment is made of the horizontal distance between the inflection poin
