8.3. Mounting the Sample
To mount the sample, perform the following steps:
1. Dislocate the lens down by rotating the manual approach knob clockwise (see pos. 2 in
Fig. 2-3).
2. Prepare the sample for measurement by placing it on a glass substrate and fixing this
assembly, if necessary.
ATTENTION! The substrate to mount the sample should be transparent.
Thickness of the substrate may not exceed the working distance of the lens.
3. Place the substrate on the sample stage 1 of the exchangeable mount (Fig. 8-1).
4. Fasten the substrate with spring clips 2.
