•  [X] control:  Moves specimen in X direction within a range from 0 to 80 mm. 
•  [Y] control:  Moves specimen in Y direction within a range from 0 to 40 mm. 
•  [Z] control:  Moves specimen in Z direction or shifts WD (Working Distance) within a range 

from 5 to 35 mm.    (X-ray analysis position is at 15 mm working distance) 

•  [R] control:  Rotates specimen through 360° (continuously variable) 
•  [T] control:  Tilts specimen within a range from -20° to 90°. 
•  [Touch sensor and absorbed electron measurement terminal]:  This terminal is used for the 

measurement of the irradiation 
current of electrons on the 
specimen (normally it is used 
as a touch sensor). 

Touch Sensor 

:  This observes whether the specimen or the stage come in contact 

with components inside the specimen chamber 
The sensor will inform with the buzzer and the message when 
coming in contact. 

Absorbed Current Terminal :  The absorbed current can be measured by removing the cable for 

the touch sensor, and connecting a minute ammeter instead.
