Modernization of the MAS-1 microscope for use in measurements of the spectra of internal conversion electrons

Efforts to increase the speed with which microscopic objects are measured are described. These efforts include the modernization of the MAS-1 automatic scanning microscope and the development of programs to reach an initial point and for carrying out automatic point-to-point linear transitions with a specified step. The error in realizing a transition to a given point with specified coordinates is shown to amount to 1 μm.
