Stage movement limits
The motorized movements of the stage can be operated under software control for more advanced location
mapping. This includes Shift, Get, Track and Stage module functionality. A live image can be repositioned either by
the stage movement or by the Beam Shift.

Note
When moving the stage or tilting the specimen, the magnification may need to be reduced so as to not lose the feature of
interest from the screen.
