PREFACE

Thank you for your recent purchase of a TM3000 Tabletop Microscope.
The TM3000 Tabletop Microscope (“TM” for short) is designed to observe and evaluate
specimens that are prepared specifically for the TM, using an electron beam accelerated to 5
or 15kV as a light source.
This product involves the use of a vacuum and high voltages. Only properly trained
personnel are authorized to operate and service this system. In order to ensure the safe and
proper operation of the system, you are urged to receive a briefing on operation,
maintenance, and safety precautions by representatives of Hitachi’s service department or
technicians certified by the same. Carefully read the safety tips provided in this manual, and
use the system after you have thoroughly understood the safety precautions (“Safety Tips”
for short) contained in this publication.

When allowing children and pupils (“minors”) to use the system, do so under the
supervision of a system administrator who is thoroughly familiar with the
above-mentioned safety tips, and by limiting their use to personal computer (PC)
operations and moving the specimen stage. Because minors can take unexpected
action out of curiosity, the system administrator should use utmost caution to ensure
that the safety tips are complied with and the system is not handled in a manner
departing from the range of operations provided in the Instruction Manual. Also,
securely control the system so that minors will not use the system on a solo basis.

NOTICE

About the Power Supply

(1) Make sure the power supplied to the Tabletop Microscope is AC 100－240V (Min. 90V,

Max. 250V), 500 V A o r h igher ( 5 0 / 6 0Hz ). Vo l tage fl uc tua ti on s and superposed noise
on the power line can adversely affect the main unit.

(2) Be sure to connect the power line to a grounded three-prong outlet. Verify that the

grounding for the outlet is connected with a grounding resistance of less than 100Ω
Improper grounding not only makes the system vulnerable to external noise; it is also
dangerous due to a potential for electric shock associated with floating voltages.

About the Cable Connection

To prevent a system malfunction, when connecting the power cable or a dedicated cable, be
sure to turn off the earth leakage breaker and the power switch. In particular, when plugging
or unplugging a USB cable, do so by turning off the PC. Remember that performing a “Safe
removal of hardware” step on the PC and receiving a “USB device can now be removed
safely” message does not mean that the USB has been turned off. Plugging or unplugging
the USB cable in this condition can potentially damage the system.

About the Detector

The semiconductor backscattered electron detector is vulnerable to damage. Scratches made

on the surface of the detector element can cause performance degradation. To prevent
damage to the semiconductor backscattered electron detector, when adjusting the height of
the specimen stub, be sure to use the special specimen height adjustment jig.

NOTICE

About Power Outages

An instantaneous voltage sag caused by a power outage or lightening can potentially damage
the basic software, the application software, or data. As a countermeasure against
instantaneous voltage sag, the use of the system with a PC battery mounted is recommended.
If a power outage occurs, turn off the earth leakage breaker and the power switch to guard
against voltage surges that can occur when power is restored.
When powe r i s r es to r ed , t he sys t em re t ur ns to t he c on di t i on t hat e xis t e d before the po we r
outage. If the power outage occurred in the midst of evacuation, the system automatically
resumes evacuation. If the system was open to the atmosphere, that condition is maintained
as is.

On the Power Supply for the PC

If power is shut off during access to the hard disk or other memory devices, a PC malfunction
can occur and the data and software stored on them can be destroyed. When finished with
the current operation, be sure to perform PC termination operations and then turn off the
power switch for the PC.

On Data Backup

In some cases, a PC failure or malfunction can cause data corruption. To avoid such a
problem, periodically copy the contents of the hard disk to another hard disk, CD-ROM, a
magneto-optical disk, or other external storage devices. Such periodic copying is referred to
as a backup. For further details on this topic, see the instruction manual supplied with the
PC.

About Application Software

Other application software programs should not be installed on the PC associated with the
system. Such programs, beyond producing unexpected operation screens, can adversely
affect the system and cause the system to fail to operate properly.

(continued)

NOTICE

About the Computer Virus

If a program or data suddenly becomes corrupt, an unexpected operation occurs, or an
abnormal screen appears, the infection of the PC by a computer virus must be suspected.

The computer virus refers to a malicious program that surreptitiously invades the PC, runs
the PC uncontrollably, or damages data. By the same token, the program that
detects/eliminates computer viruses is referred to as anti-virus software.

The PC and the recording media provided with the system are checked with anti-virus software
before they are shipped from the factory.

PCs can be infected by a virus through interchangeable storage media, such as virus-infected
CDs, DVDs, a USB-connected flash memory units, or through the network. Do not use files that
pose a risk of infection by a computer virus.

Before connecting inte rchangeable storage media or the network, be sure to check it with
anti-virus software with the most up to date virus definitions. When connecting to the network,
HHT recommends the establishment of a firewall as an anti-computer virus measure between
the system and the network. Setting up a firewall is a customer responsibility. HHT does not
warrant that all computer viruses can be prevented by setting up a firewall.

If there are concerns about a computer virus infection, check your system by using anti-virus
software.

Procuring anti-virus software and removing the viruses are a customer responsibility.
Remember that some anti-virus programs may not be able to remove all computer viruses.
HHT does not warrant anti-virus software products themselves.

Some virus detection/eradiation programs, when made memory resident, can have an
adverse impact on the operation of the Tabletop Microscope. If a problem arises after
anti-virus software is installed, either uninstall the anti-virus software or make it non-resident
(by not registering it in the Startup program. Alternatively, perform operations such as
manually starting it when the Tabletop Microscope control program is not running, detecting
the viruses, and closing it when the virus detection process is finished, or conducting the
scanning process when the control program for the system is not running.

NOTICE

About Network Connection

For network connection, the PC is equipped with an Ethernet port. As connecting to the network
through the use of Ethernet requires sufficient knowledge on the network environment, perform
such a connection by consulting your network administrator.

(1) Providing a cable connection to the Ethernet port must be performed by either the system

installer or a service engineer. For these services, contact either the sales department
handling your account or the Service Department.

(2) When connecting the PC to a network, be sure to take adequate anti-computer virus

measures. For details, see the [About the computer virus] section in this chapter.

(3) The system is not supplied with an Ethernet cable; an appropriate cable should be

procured.

(4) Any change in settings for network connection should be performed with care.

Unwittingly changing the settings necessary for the operation of the system can render
the system inoperative.

(5) Do not install any special software necessary for network connection. Uninstalling it can

adversely impact the system or cause the system to fail to operate normally.

About PC Freezing

If the PC freezes (the mouse and the keyboard won’t work) for some reason, on the
keyboard press the [Ctrl], [Alt], and [Delete] keys simultaneously, and shut down the system
by following the instructions that appear in the dialog box (software resetting).
After that, close Windows normally, turn off the main unit, and restart it. If this condition occurs,
any data up to that point will be lost. If the PC fails to restart after a software reset operation,
verify that the hard disk access indicator light is off, and press the Power button for a long time to
turn it off forcibly. Since turning off power when the hard disk is still running can damage the hard
disk and disable the PC from starting, this technique should be used only as a last resort. For a
description on the hard disk access indicator light, see the instruction manual supplied with the
PC.

About the Power Saving Feature and the Screen Saver

On the PC used in conjunction with the system, disable any screen saver, the display power
saving feature, and power management settings.
If any of these items are enabled, USB communications can be disrupted, causing the PC to
freeze.

For the Safe Handling of the System

For the Proper Use of the S ystem While Avoiding Minor

Damage to It (continued)

Precautions on Operating the System

(1) When leaving the system unattended, turn off the Start button.
(2) Do not use large quantities of chemicals (such as conducting paste) that fix specimens

onto the specimen stub.

(3) When the system is not used, conduct evacuation at least once a week in order to

prevent any uneven distribution of the bearing grease used in the turbo molecular
pump. Also, keeping the system in a vacuum state helps to maintain the interior of the
system clean.

About the Environment around the System

In order to ensure a stable observation, use the system by paying attention to the environment
around the installation site for the system.

(1) Avoid installing the system in a place near power lines serving equipment such as a

large magnetic clutch and subject to sudden current or magnetic field changes.

(2) Install the system in a place away from sources of vibration, such as large machine

tools or transportation facilities (roads, railroads, and the like).

About Magnetic Fields Generated by a Notebook PC

Do not use the system by placing a notebook PC on its main unit. The effects of magnetic
fields generated from the notebook PC can cause image distortion during a high magnification
image observation.

About the Temperature and Humidity of the Room

The room i n wh i ch t he syst e m i s i nst a l le d s hou l d be k e pt at a 15 to 3 0°C room temperature
with a maximum humidity of 70% RH without condensation. The occurrence of water
condensation can cause system failure.

cordless telephone handsets.

PRECAUTIONS - 2

1 SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION CONDITIONS

1.1 Overview

The TM3000 is a tabletop microscope operating under the principle of low-vacuum

observation, wherein a narrowly focused electron beam is directed onto the specimen, the

resulting backscattered electrons are detected, and minute parts of the specimen are

enlarged for observation. The main features of the system are the capacity to permit

specimen observations in high-magnification regions beyond the reach of an optical

microscope and the ability to produce three-dimensional like images emerging from a great

focal depth. By downsizing a conventional electron microscope and simplifying the

operations, the Tabletop Microscope invites users who have never touched an electron

microscope before to use it as a handy tool. The TM3000 represents considerable

improvements in performance and functionality over the previous Model TM-1000 Tabletop

Microscope, offering a truly easy to use high-performance system.

Figure 1.1 External View of the TM3000

1.2 Features

The TM3000 provides the following main features.

1. A compact desktop electron microscope.

2. Provides a great focal depth and permits high magnification observations when

compared with an optical microscope.

3. Elimination of cumbersome preparation of samples.

4. The capacity to accept the mounting of specimens up to 70 mm across and 50 mm thick.

5. PC-based operations and the provision of an automated focus/brightness adjustment

functions.

6. A quick 3-minute lead time from the time the system is turned on until the specimen can

be observed.

7. The system can be operated simply by plugging it into an electric outlet (AC100 to 240 V :

5 A or less).

8. The capacity to perform observation to suit various conditions by switching observation

modes and observation condition settings.
