Does anybody know how to replace a new bulb to microscope?

 

Thanks,

Sorry for late notice. It looks like somebody is already using it though.

All,

      Gaurav, Duygu, and I performed tests on the Cascade last night.  
We determined that another manipulator is broken. The part has been  
identified and we will begin the replacement process shortly.

      There are 3 remaining manipulators. Please be careful, or we  
will all be reduced to doing diode measurements. =)

      Do not pull the broken manipulators out and attempt to use them  
for 4-point measurements. The problem is in the contact, so you will  
probably not be getting accurate results.

      - Mihir

      Good question. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

      In this case, we determined that the issue is a wear-and-tear  
problem. Older users might recall that the Cascade used to have a  
shared set of probe tips - but due to frequent damage, each user was  
required to provide his/her own probe tips. So each user  
removes/inserts probe tips during their session. It is this continuous  
action that wears down the contacts inside the manipulator.

      There really isn't a way around this. We can return to a common  
set of probe tips to minimize wear, but that will result in damaged  
probe tips from careless users. Around and around we go...

      One thing that would help - from all users - is making sure that  
the stage and manipulators are clean *before and after* your session.  
Use wipes with a little bit of IPA to clean the surface and bottoms of  
the manipulators. This prevents vacuum problems.

      - Mihir
