2800 TEM single holder damage on 6/30/2017

Instrument Status Updates for MC2
//Kratos-SUPRA@UCI Update (11/23/2015)
//The Kratos-SUPRA has been restored to operational in most common modes (XPS, depth profiling). During this maintenance period, the x-ray gun filament was replaced, the low count rate issues was fixed by cleaning out the restrictors on the cooling water lines. Currently, the pressure of SAC is at ~2E-09 torr. A long bake-out of the system is planned and the schedule will be updated. We recommend to keep your “degassing” samples in the loadlock chamber to pump down until the pressure reaches mid E-07 torr, before transferring to SAC
I am proud to be part of the team at LEXI, IMRI and UCI to work and collaborate with you on this machine and other projects. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any issues, problems and questions related to your experiments and applications using the instrument.

XRD machine Problem 1/20/2010 fixed on 1/29/2010
//Hi, XRD users,
A X-ray diffractometer problem occurred this morning. After a brief check, I found that the problem might be associated with the X-ray generating system. I will talk with a service engineer to diagnose the reasons for the XRD problem tomorrow. The XRD machine will be down till it is fixed. I will add comments to this news to keep you posted as the XRD status changes.

TEM CCD camera Jan 8/removed Feb 1/Loaner camera installed OK
//TEM users:
TEM CCD camera lost some functions, but it is still working well at binning 1. Please use binning 1 instead of binning 2, 3 and 4. The image size for binning 1 is very big (11Mb for each image) , so please record TEM images only when necessary.
We will repair the camera and have it fully functional soon. If you have any questions, you may contact Dr. Zheng.
