SEE message below
Users working with pieces should exercise caution that their samples can be loaded flat onto the sample holder.
I will look further into this issue tomorrow.

Thank you,

Attention RAITH Users:
Will the user whom used conductive epoxy or other adhesives to mount their small pieces to the Std. Sample Holder:
PLEASE SEE ME IMMEDIATELY!

Evidently a User working with small pieces on positions 1 outer, two inner, both three inner and outer, and five outer on the STD. SAMPLE HOLDER
 employed either conductive epoxy, or a corrosive residue on the wafer backside, which has left residues which I cannot remove with normal solvents!
The result is that wafers and all pieces now cannot be mounted level onto the sample holder.
This is very poor behavior to the RAITH community; likely we have to replace the standard sample holder.
