(3)  Limitation and evacuation when an optional detector is inserted 

Some optional detectors have sensor switches and are automatically sensed when they are 
inserted.    For detectors not having such sensor switches, it is necessary to set detector in 
use correctly in the Set Sample Size/Detector dialog box.    If a detector having sensor 
switch is inserted when present stage position is out of allowable area, the stage will 
evacuate to the safe position as follows. 

 

(a) EDX detector 

No limitation required. 

 

(b)  WDX detector (made by Oxford Corporation) used: 

∅5-inch (127 mm) specimens are restricted to X: 0.0 ~ 85.0 mm in mechanical 
coordinates. 
∅6-inch (153 mm) specimens are restricted to X: 0.0 ~ 72.0 mm in mechanical 
coordinates. 
∅8-inch (200 mm) specimens cannot be loaded. 

 
NOTICE:  If the stage positions (X, Y, Z, and T) are outside the movable range when a detector 

is inserted, and if a detector equipped with a detection sensor is inserted, the stage 
will be forced to undergo retraction motions.
