Dear users
The process cooling water for our all 4 S/TEMs will be interrupted starting at 6am tomorrow morning. The facilities management is installing a bypass valve in the central plant for our waterline. The interruption may last till the end of the day.
Please be aware that TEMs will be down tomorrow.
We will post the progress of the work in this blog. Stay tuned.
Water shutdown was done around 3pm. Grand ARM and 2100F were conditioned and brought up.
Dear Grand ARM users
A sample holder hit the objective lens and the holder was damaged and some parts got dropped inside. JEOL engineers are opening up the microscope to check it out. The scope will be baked over the weekend and then conditioned on Monday. The scope will be unavailable till then.
Grand ARM is operational as of 6pm on 4/16/18. The special EDS double-tilt holder was shipped to JEOL for repair. Please use a back up double tilt holder till the holder is returned.
Dear Grand ARM users
Grand ARM will be unavailable starting the week of April 30th. Gatan will move our K2 IS camera to the back of GIF Quantum. We anticipate that this upgrade will take at least 3-4 weeks.
We will post the status of the microscope in this blog. Please check the comments on this post.
Please be aware that the scope is not operational for a while.
IMRI Staff
The Gatan K2 IS/Quantum upgrade just started on April 30th. The Grand ARM will not be available until the upgrade completes.
Grand ARM developed some issues in lens and cannot be operated. We will keep you posted on this.
We found that the hardware button for “Stage Neutral” sometime fails, although software button works all the time. Users, please be aware. If you press the hardware button, please verify that the stage gets neutralized before you take your holder out.
Thanks,
