NOTE : When handling the components inside the electron gun (the cap, the Wehnelt, the
anode, and the cartridge filament), use clean gloves to keep them free of particles
and smudges.
CAUTION : The electron gun weighs 2.5 kg. When opening the electron gun, do not
release you hand until the electron gun comes to a halt. Releasing your
hand mid-way can potentially cause pinched fingers or injury.
The anode has a screw-in structure. Put on gloves, and remove the anode by turning it
counterclockwise. Cover the removed anode with clean aluminum foil or place it in a vinyl
bag to protect it from particles or scratches.
