2-5 SPECIMEN CLAMPING
To clamp specimens, different specimen clamping
systems are available. With the orienting adapter it
is simple to align the specimen properly in relation
to the knife.
2-5-1 STANDARD SPECIMEN CLAMP
(Cat. no. 715480)
The standard specimen clamp is used for
rectangular and square paraffin blocks.
•
Insert the specimen on the front fixed jaw (fig.
8.2) and tighten it via the clamping screw (fig.
8.3) with the movable jaw (fig. 8.1).
Warning:
For the stability of the specimen, do not
let it project over the clamping jaws too
much!
2-5-2 STANDARD SPECIMEN CLAMP
•
This specimen clamp is used in the same way
as the above-described standard specimen
clamp (see cat. no. 715480).
•
The clamping screw and thus the clamping
direction of this clamp is arranged transversly
in relation to the sectioning direction.
•
Specimens with a size up to 45 x 60 mm can
be inserted.
Warning:
For the stability of the specimen, do not
let it project over the clamping jaws too
much!
