We had a similar problem with the CCD camera on our CM12, a Princeton Micromax 
from Gatan. The IGP would increase by ~10 when the camera was removed, but 
nearly instantly recover when the camera was inserted. We had to take apart 
the camera then clean and regrease an internal  o-ring on the inserting 
piece. This fixed the problem.
 Hope this helps.
