The next few steps of preparing the SEM for sample loading and image
acquisition require commands from the software. The SEM user interface is
spread across two monitors. The user interface screen is shown in Figure 12.
The icons in the upper command line are used very frequently in operating the
SEM and optimizing the image. The set of 6 tabs on the right side of the screen
contain command and parameter setting buttons for setting the SEM up for
imaging. The row of icons at the bottom of the screen has commands allowing
you to measure or label things on the image. The SEM image appears in the
large region in the center.
