The following also occurs:
• A Load Status dialog box is displayed during the ejection
sequence which displays hardware status.
• High voltage is turned off.
• The video monitor displays the sample plate moving.
• The sample holder moves out of the main source
chamber, out of the sample loading chamber, and is
ejected from of the instrument.
NOTE: Do not leave the sample holder in the Eject position
for more than a few seconds. Minimize the time the
instrument is exposed to the atmosphere to reduce the time
needed to reach high vacuum when you insert a new plate.
