Onboard control that enables cleaning modes between internal and external units in a minimum effort. 9. Ability to control cleaner locally (via a panel located on the cleaner) and remotely by a computer (with appropriate connection cabling provided) 10. Wide Operating Pressure Range 11. Adjustable height sample platform 12. Additional ports adaptable for TEM stage holder cleaning The plasma cleaner shall be covered by a 5 year warranty.
