Let the magnets on the three posts gently engage the sample plate to
hold it in place, as in image C of Figure 58.
5 For certain measurement you will need to connect the EC/MAC
cable from the sample plate to the socket on the underside of the
microscope stand. The 2-pin EC cable provides bias to the sample.
The 6-pin MAC connector provides signal to the magnetic coil for
MAC Mode.
CAUTION
The sample plate magnets are quite strong and, if allowed to, will snap
the sample plate into position, which may perturb the sample. Holding the
plate at the edges while engaging the magnets will control this
movement.
