1. Remove the clamp assembly from the case.

Alternatively, the clamp may be mounted on any horizontal surface that can
be positioned within 60 cm of the working position, such as a mobile trolley.
The clamp may also be attached to the floor stand. When attaching to the
floor stand, first remove the two knobs from the clamp then tilt the clamp
backwards slightly to allow it to fit through the hole in the clamp mount.
Refer to figure 3 (B).
The floor stand is clamped vertically to the main clamp assembly at one point
and at two points horizontally. First tighten the vertical clamp firmly then use
the two knobs provided to fix the clamp horizontally to the clamp mount.
Refer to figure 3 (C).
It is important that the mounting surface be free from vibration and
movement. Note that in cases where the mounting surface is not rigid,
over-tightening of the vertical clamp will not improve microscope stability. In
this case, add a stiffening plate (such as Scan Optics Table Plate; Cat No.
SO-291) beneath the mounting surface and apply the clamp over the
stiffening plate and the original mounting surface..
