4.3.38 Astigmatism Correction

An astigmatism correction (to correct any electron beam distortion) on the observation image

because certain amount of time has passed or after the column is serviced including filament
replacement. An astigmatism correction part is displayed in the Information / Comment area
on the operation window by selecting [Astigmatism Correction] (see 4.3.6) from the [Setting]
menu. For the details, refer to 4.2.11. 2 Astigmatism Correction.
NOTE : Astigmatism correction is enabled only when electron beam irradiation is in
progress (in the HV-ON status).
