FEI Tecnai F20 S/TEM: basic operation (version 2.0)

Several months ago, myself and another faculty filmed a series of short videos regarding basic operation of our Tecnai F20 to enhance student training; I then added voice over and some interspersed images and the final product turned out nice, so I complied all of these short videos into one longer video covering basic operation of an FEI Tecnai F20 S/TEM.


I realize I already have a video covering this (which was the very first video I ever posted), so this will be the new and improved version 2.0, which is a nice improvement over the original in terms of both quality and clarity.


What's included in version 2.0:


1. How to load/unload specimens for three different types of holders
2. How to insert/retract single and double tilt holders into/from the TEM
3. How to navigate around, find the sample, and set eucentric height
4. Instrument alignment
5. Zone axis alignment
6. Recording images using a digital camera
7. How to properly finish up your session


As a little teaser, I have another basic operation video that is in the works for a new Talos F200i S/TEM we recently acquired, so that will likely be my next post.


As always, thanks for your support, and please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
