Tilted Sample Stage for measurement of Photovoltaic Samples
The tilted sample stage integrates a 160 mm x 160 mm sample holder with vacuum chuck. Tilt adjustment from the horizontal position to 90° is ideal to optimize signal collection from textured Si photovoltaic samples, and the stage height is manually adjustable to allow samples of up to 10 mm thickness to be measured.
The stage also allows transmission measurements.
Maintenance and replacement:
- Check for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect the mechanical parts of the stage, such as screws, clamps, and rotating components. Any loose or worn-out parts can lead to improper alignment or instability.
- Inspect the Tilt Mechanism: The tilt mechanism should move smoothly without any resistance or jerky motions. Any friction or obstruction could indicate the need for lubrication or part replacement.
- Dust and Debris Removal: The stage can accumulate dust and particles over time, especially in a laboratory environment. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or compressed air to clean the surface and mechanical parts of the stage.
- Avoid Contamination: When handling the stage, use gloves to avoid transferring oils or contaminants from your hands to the sensitive surfaces.
- Check Alignment: Regularly verify that the stage is properly aligned and calibrated. Misalignment can result in inaccurate measurements.
