Universal stand
The universal stand is noted for its stability.
Vibrations, which can cause difficulties at high
magnifications and in photography, are elimi-
nated. Large objects, and stage carriers with
magnetic linkage that will accept various
stages, can be conveniently positioned on its
baseplate. As in the large swinging-arm stand,
the optics carrier is connected to the horizontal
arm by means of an inclinable drive housing or a
coarse/fine drive housing.
Masks and wafers can be examined with the
help of a cross stage, which is available on
request; it has 6in × 6in travel with rapid XY
movement and with fine adjustment.
Drive housing with coarse/fine movement
for 50mm diameter columns
When fitted to the universal stand, this unit
provides a very stable outfit for examining large
objects. The coarse/fine drive enables the image
to be focused precisely at the higher magnifica-
tions and with heavy microscope configurations.
