Page 8: Cage Mounting
Chapter 3 3.3.2 Cage Mounting An array of threaded holes in the rotating face allow 16 mm cage system components to be fitted. The rear face is also fitted with an array of threaded holes compatible with 16 mm cage systems. By using these holes, the stage can be mounted within the cage system, and components can then be rotated within the cage. - Page 9 DDR05 Direct Drive Rotation Stage Fig. 3.2 DDR05 fitted with cage system components...
