The introductory group class follows this schedule:
9:45 - 11:30 Interactive Zoom presentation (link)
Noon to 1:00 XPS lab: Introduction to the instrument, sample mounting, initial software set-up
1:00 - 2:00 Break
2:00 - 5:00 XPS lab: analyses of trainees’ samples
During the lab sessions,
• Trainees receive a tour of PHI Versaprobe II instrument components and vacuum system design
• Record-keeping, sample mounting, instrument set-up and sample pumpdown are demonstrated
• In-lab and online resources for data analysis are introduced
• Data collection and analysis are demonstrated using the trainees' samples
The introductory group class is followed during the week by individual trainee hands-on analysis sessions, continuing analysis of the trainee’s samples. Time is pre-reserved for this purpose and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
With careful attention to instrument operation protocol, most users feel ready to take their “driver’s test” for self-user XPS access during their second or third hands-on session.
The driver’s test consists of a hands-on analysis session just like the user’s previous analysis sessions -- but with each step in the operating procedure the user describes what they’re doing, and why they’re doing it, before they do it. The user is also quizzed to confirm good understanding of the vacuum system.
