3.3. Installing the Probe Holder

To install the probe holder on the measuring head, perform the following steps:
1. Place the measuring head with its bottom up on a plane surface.
2. Pull the spring stop (Fig. 3-11).
Place the probe holder so that support balls of the holder stand on sapphire seats on
the base of the measuring head (Fig. 3-11). Screws of the measuring head must come
to the corresponding slots with their caps.
3. Release the spring stop to secure the holder.
4. Connect the probe holder electrically to the measuring head (Fig. 3-11).
This completes installing the probe holder on the measuring head.

3.4. Installing the Measuring Head

To install the measuring head, perform the following steps:
1. Rotate the manual approach knob clockwise until the scanner comes to its lowest
position (pos. 1 in Fig. 3-12). This will secure the probe and the sample during
installation of the measuring head.

ATTENTION! When lowering the scanner, avoid contact of the sample
holder with the optical tube to prevent damage of the tube lens. To keep
the desired distance, adjust Z position of the optical tube.
