TIP
Rotating the upper Y-axis knob a moves the specimen in the Y-axis
direction (front and back).
Rotating the lower X-axis knob b moves the specimen in the X-axis
direction (right and left).
Stage movable range: Depth 52 mm x Width 76 mm
· Do not move the specimen by touching the specimen
holder directly by hand, since it will damage the rotary
mechanism of the knobs.
· The rotation torque of X-axis and Y-axis knobs become
heavier near the end of movable range of X-axis and
Y-axis. In this case, stop rotating the knob.
· If the stage knob rubber c is attached and it is difficult to
operate the stage, remove the stage knob rubber.
If you want to change the height of the stage knob rubber, move
the stage knob rubber up and down to adjust it.
· When attaching the stage knob rubber, insert the larger one to
the Y-axis knob (upper side) and the smaller one to the X-axis
knob (lower side) from below.
