Sample Transfer System

The sample transfer system helps to exchange samples without breaking the UHV condition in the main experimental chamber. The sample holder can be transferred between the main and the load lock chambers using a magnetically coupled transporter. It is possible to connect the transporter to the sample holder only if the sample holder has been placed at a specific position (inside the chamber). The orientation of the seven-axis manipulator at the sample replacement position is given below.
