1 Sample holders for the OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness
Inspector System
1.1 Introduction
The OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness Inspector System includes a sample holder for
the inspection of particles on filter membranes with a diameter of 47mm. With
optional additional accessories, filter membranes of different diameters (25mm,
47mm and 55mm) with either white or black background, particle traps and tape
lift samples can be analyzed in your CIX100 system. This manual describes how to
integrate each of these optional sample holders and sample types to your CIX100
system for optimal usability.
1.2 Intended use
All sample holders and accessories mentioned in this manual are intended for the
inspection of technical cleanliness. It is mandatory to follow the sample preparation
procedure for each type of sample, which is described according to the
applications and the standard used. Follow the mounting instructions for each
sample type as outlined in this manual. All sample holders are designed for use
under normal environmental conditions. Use under oxidative or acidic
environmental conditions as well as high temperatures should be avoided.
1.3 About these instructions
These instructions are part of the documentation for the OLYMPUS CIX100
Cleanliness Inspector System. Further information about the operation of the
OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness Inspector System can be found in the CIX100 System
Setup Guide and in the CIX ASW software documentation. Read all of the other
instructions for the components of the system carefully.

Sample Holders
The following table gives an initial indication of which sample holder is
recommended for which application in the CIX100 system.
Article
number Article code Short article
description Examples of application fields
E9701689 HW-CIX-FH-25B
Holder with black
desk for filter
membranes with
25mm diameter
Holders with black background can be used to
inspect all opaque membranes- for example
cellulose nitrate.
The main advantage of the holders with black
background is that they do not have any coating
making them resistant when aggressive solvents
are used.
E9701690 HW-CIX-FH-47B
Holder with black
desk for filter
membranes with
47mm diameter
E9701691 HW-CIX-FH-55B
Holder with black
desk for filter
membranes with
55mm diameter
E9701692 HW-CIX-FH-25W
Holder with white
desk for filter
membranes with
25mm diameter
Holders with white background can be used to
inspect all opaque membranes.
The white coating can be damaged by
aggressive solvents.
The main advantage of the white background
holders is the inspection of woven membranes
without showing artifacts from the holder when
looking through the mesh.
E9701591 HW-CIX-FH-47W
Holder with white
desk for filter
membranes with
47mm diameter
E9701592 HW-CIX-FH-55W
Holder with white
desk for filter
membranes with
55mm diameter
E9701695 HW-CIX-HTL Holder for tape lift
inspection
Investigation of cleanliness in which the particles
are lifted from the surface with an adhesive tape..
E9701696 HW-CIX-HPT Holder for particle
trap inspection
Environment analysis by monitoring particles
depositing on a particle trap in a defined time.
The particle traps compatible with CIX100 are not
included.

E9701688 HW-CIX-PT-10 Particle traps
Particle traps can be used to monitor and
collect particle contaminations in the working
environment with a defined exposure time. The
particle traps can be ordered as a box of ten
traps.
E9701694 HW-CIX-SIFP
CIX100 alternative
stage insert (not
compatible with
sample holders listed
above)
This stage insert is a flat plate which can be
mounted to the CIX100 stage. This is useful
when CIX100 is to be used for metallurgy. The
samples can be placed on top of this flat plate.

2 Safety
For all samples used in the CIX100 system, make sure to follow all the instructions
concerning size and weight specified in the System Setup Guide. Please read the
CIX100 System Setup Guide carefully before using your CIX100 system or installing
new hardware to your system.
2.1 Symbols and safety instructions
The exclamation mark and the word ATTENTION indicate
situations where irreparable damage to the product can occur if
ignored.
The warning sign and the word CAUTION indicate dangerous
situations that can lead to light injuries if ignored.
ATTENTION
Device damage through overloading the stage
The maximum permitted load of the stage must not exceed 2 kg. Overloading the
stage can hinder the movement of the stage or damage the microscope. Make sure
that the weight of the stage insert (e.g. multi-sample holder), samples and sample
holders (e.g. filter holder) in total does not exceed the maximum permitted weight
of 2 kg.

OLYMPUS CIX100 Cleanliness Inspector System
ATTENTION
Device damage from oversize or unsuitable samples
Samples that exceed the maximum permitted height can damage the lenses or the
stage. Make sure that the height of the sample doesn't impair the movement of the
objectives. Do not use any samples that prevent the free movement of the
nosepiece and the installed objectives. Pay attention to the different lengths of the
objectives when moving the nosepiece. Make sure that the sample does not
protrude the sides of the microscope stage.
ATTENTION
When the CIX100 stage is moved or the objective is changed, make sure that the
objectives do not touch the sample or sample holder at all. This is particularly
important when a new sample type has been mounted.
ATTENTION
When the stage is moved, either actively by the user or automatically by the system,
make sure that the current sample and sample holder do not impede the
movement of the stage. When the CIX100 software is used or the joystick is used to
control the stage movement, make sure that nothing hinders the movement of the
system.
ATTENTION
When mounting or unmounting a sample, please make sure that the stage is
moved such that the distance between objectives and sample position you are
working on is maximized. Before returning control of your system to the software
again after changing a sample, make sure that the distance between stage Z-
position and range of motion for the objectives is sufficient for all XY-positions of
the stage.
