Jason, EE 410 TAs, and Micromanipulator users:

I've just installed 4 brand new probe tips and planarized them 
reasonably well so that the stage height should be in the middle of the 
range.  I've also adjusted the detents so that it does a better job of 
holding the stage in the up position when loading/unloading a sample.

Note: there should never, ever be a need to bend one of the probe tips.  
If you think that you need to bend one, stop and think: you are about to 
do something that you shouldn't.

Thanks,

John
