The pole piece was touched by a user’s sample today. Imaging capability appears to be normal but the damage needs to be assessed by an FEI engineer. Users can not use the Magellan until after this assessment. The engineer will be here Monday.
Magellan Down on 4/11/14 and Ok to Use on 4/14/14

Neither of the FEI engineers were available today. The engineer is suppose to be available tomorrow to assess the pole piece. However, the imaging capability of the Magellan still appears to be normal and users may use the Magellan and quickloader in the mean time.
