Stage control panel will appear (Fig. 354). By
pressing the Stop button you can interrupt any
stage movement. The Move to Zero button will
move the stage to the current zero positions of the
x and y coordinates. The compass rose will move
the stage in the direction of the arrowheads. Fast
movement is obtained with the outer rose, slow
movement with the inner rose. The X-Position
(µm) and Y-Position (µm) display boxes show the
actual x and y coordinates. You can edit the
numbers by typing or using the arrowheads. If
numbers were altered, the first click on the
compass rose will bring the stage to the altered
position. The Step Size (µm) display box show the
currently use step size for stage movement. The
value can be edited by typing or using the
arrowheads. The Zero Position Set button set sets
the x and y coordinates to 0.
Focus button: If the focus button is pressed, the Focus control panel will appear (Fig. 355). The
Z-Position display box shows the current z-position. The number can be edited by typing or using the
arrowheads. The nosepiece or stage will automatically update the new position. By pressing the Stop
button, you can stop the current movement. The Step Size (µm) display box show the currently use step
size for stage movement. The value can be edited by typing or using the arrowheads. The Home button
sets the z-position to the predefined 0 value. Pressing Load will lower the nose piece (z-position) for
