Sample azimuthal rotation refers to rotation of the sample about an axis normal to the sample face and perpendicular to the polar axis. Flip Flip motion is the changing of an axis normal to the sample face and perpendicular to the polar axis. Tilt Tilt refers to changing the polar axis with respect to the X, Y and Z axes. Tilt range is often limited by the bellows I. D. and the O. D. of the probe passing through the bellows. Tilt stages are available in single or dual axis units.
Some equipment is field adjustable.
