Segment arc and universal Specimen holder
The segment arc and universal specimen holder are highly suitable for the clamping of small specimens
embedded in plastic.
•
The specimen is inserted in the holder [a] and clamped with the screw [b] with the hex head wrench [c].
•
Then the holder together with the specimen is put into the segment carrier [e], where the holder can be
turned 360°.
•
Thus, the specimen can be aligned as required.
•
Then, the holder is clamped into the selected position with the screw [d].
•
The carrier [e] can be moved on the base [f ]. This way, the surface of the specimen can be placed
parallel to the knife/blade.
•
The screw [g] is used to swing the carrier onto the base.
