Notes on attaching the nosepiece --- When the epi-fl filter turret is used
The protection plate for nosepiece is a component designed for shielding the gap between
the nosepiece and the epi-fl filter turret to avoid accidental jamming of fingers inserted into
the gap or the laser radiation from the gap.
Two types of protection plate are prepared for the nosepiece being used. One for the TI-N6,
TI-ND6 and TI-ND6-E nosepieces is supplied with Ti-E and Ti-E/B, and the other for the
TI-ND6-PFS nosepiece is supplied with the nosepiece. Follow the procedure below to attach
each protection plate.
