Cleaving in the analysis chamber

For sensitive samples it is preferrable to cleave in the analysis chamber. There is a wobble-stick without a clamp from the side of the load-lock. Use a saved position called "Cleave". It should first move sample away from analyzer lens, then rotate it to -60 deg polar angle. Check in the camera that manipulator doesn't hit the lens! In this position it should be possible to cleave sample with the wobble-stick. After cleave use saved position "After cleave", it will first rotate polar back and then move x,y.

Do not use "Transfer-to-An" position after cleave! It will first move x,y and then do rotation of the polar, which is dangerous.
