Greetings Raith people:

FYI:

 I will be scuffing off and cleaning the contact clips in the Std. 
Sample Holder and checking resistivity to see if this will improve 
grounding of the samples on this assembly.

Certainly things seemed to have declined over the course of the last 
week.  I have recently come to the conclusion that some contamination if 
evident in the column. I will be encouraging ZEISS to consider 
performing another Preventative Maintenance routine on the column and 
blanker assemblies.  RAITH has also been informed.

Thank you,

James Conway
