12. Rectangular l\fechanical Stage
• This stage has a handle with a universal joint which enables this handle to be angled in all
directions. The operator can therefore angle the handle to positions convenient for him to
move the stage. He also can shift his hand quite easily from the coarse focus and fine
focus knobs to the stage movement knobs and vice versa.
• Two stage rings, each with a central opening, are available for samples of different
dimensions. One is a </J 20 opening, and the other a </J 40 opening.
