Use of the adjuster

The center of gravity changes depending on the sample weight, sample
position or stage movement, etc. In particular, as MX63L uses a large-
size stage, the center of gravity changes significantly. To prevent the
microscope from unexpected overturning, adjust the adjuster at the
bottom of the microscope to take the overturning prevention actions.

1. After all units are attached, use your tool (7 mm spanner, etc.) to
rotate the adjuster (M4 hexagon head bolt) a placed at the bottom
of the microscope in the arrow direction to lower it until it touches
the installation surface. Then, rotate it for approx. half turn in the
opposite direction of the arrow to raise the adjuster.
