Fine Adjustment Of The Force Balance - Leica HistoCore AUTOCUT Instructions For Use Manual

Tip
When the large standard specimen clamp (50 x 55 mm) or the super mega cassette clamp is used, the
specimen orientation of ± 8° in north-south direction is no longer possible. The usable angle for the
large standard specimen clamp (50 x 55 mm) is only about ± 4° in this case.

Warning
Wrong fine adjustment of the force balance.
Serious injury of the operator due to contact with knife and/or specimen damage.
• Before working with the instrument, always double-check that the fine adjustment of the force
balance is properly set.
• If fine adjustment is not properly set, do not work with the instrument but perform a readjustment.
• Especially after changing accessories at the object head, perform a fine adjustment of the force
balance immediately.
HistoCore AUTOCUT
If another accessory of a different weight is
mounted on the object head
must check whether it is necessary to readjust
the force balance.
• Attach the new accessory and clamp the
specimen.
• Set the object head to half the height of the
vertical travel range by turning the handwheel
(→ "Fig. 51").
If the object head remains in this exact position,
the setting is correct.
If the object head moves, i.e. it is raised or
lowered, fine adjustment is necessary.
