Turn up the source gas until the pressure on the source tc gauge is between 300 and 500 microns (sometimes higher pressures are needed to start the source, but the source will run as low as 150 microns and the lower the pressure the better the quality of the beam and the less gas is used: a consideration when running <​sup>​3</​sup>​He).
