Operation procedure

1.  Make samples ( 6 pcs) with a flat to be polished and ready
2. Put 6 samples into position to be embedded on the machine
3. Set the program of polishing in touch screen, usually two rough lapping and two polishing 
4. Touch the " run" button on the control panel, then the machine will finish embedding, lapping, and polishing in 40 - 60 minutes, depending on  sample size and final polishing roughness
5. Note: integrating with a robot, we can realize the autonomous operation from sample mounting, etching, and microscope observation.
