The videomicroscope allows real time in-situ alignment in air or under vacuum of micron sized samples with the beam position. Minimum zoom gives an overall view of the sample (full screen image = 15 mm2) and allows rapid identification of areas of interest. Micron sized details can then be pinpointed using 12X zoom. The micro-beam impact point is precisely located on a fixed fluorescent screen mounted on the sample stage. The sample can therefore be accurately positioned in the beam with ease.
