Specimen retraction
To prevent damage to the blade and specimen, the specimen is moved away from the blade during the return motion to the upper home position.
The retraction value can be selected in 5 μm increments between 5 and 100 μm. Specimen retraction is set to 10 μm at the factory.
Specimen retraction can be disabled if required.
The selected setting is maintained when the instrument is turned off.
