There are two versions of the specimen holder,
one with and one without specimen orientation,
which are interchangeable.
The object orientation allows for simple position
correction of the specimen surface when the
specimen is clamped into place.
You can use the specimen holder fixture (60) to
hold all available accessory specimen clamps
(for more information, see
accessories").
To do so, proceed as follows:
• Move the specimen holder fixture (60) to the
upper end position by turning the handwheel
(12) and engage the handwheel lock.
• To release the clamping system, turn the
screw (61) counterclockwise using an Allen
key size 4 (71).
• Push the guide (63) of the specimen clamp
(62) from the left into the specimen holder
fixture (60) as far as it will go.
• To clamp the specimen clamp turn the
screw (61) clockwise as far as it will go.
