①Observe an image in Position Set mode at Slow3 or slower scanning speeds. Click the Line Analysis button when the scanning raster reaches the bottom of the

screen.

②Set the line cursor at an analyzing position. Adjust the base line (in case of SE or BSE, adjust brightness) and the height (in case of SE or BSE, adjust contrast and in case of X-ray, adjust the count-rate meter range) of the profile. Then stop the

scanning.

③Click on Memory Photo button.

The signal for line profile can be selected independent of the signal for image. For example, you can observe or take a photograph of an X-ray intensity line profile on the secondary electron image.
