UNIVERSAL STAND TYPE 2 TABLE CLAMP STAND This instruction manual is for the Olympus Stands for stereo microscopes. To ensure the safety, obtain optimum performance and to familiarize yourself fully with the use of this equipment, we recommend that you study this manual thoroughly before operating the system.
SZ2 series CONTENTS The SZ2-STU1, SZ2-STU2 and SZ2-STU3 stands are provided with ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection specifica- tions. Each stand is provided with electroconductive coating in their external finish to reduce the surface resistance. Connecting a grounding lead wire to the stand (and also the horizontal arm in case of the SZ2-STU2) makes it possible eliminate static electricity quickly.
SZ2-STU1/SZ2-STU3 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SZ2-STU1 1. Install the stand on a level desktop (inclination angle of less than 3°). 2. When moving the stand, make sure that the clamping mechanisms are secured tightly and lift the stand by holding it by the base plate. If the...

OPERATION 1. To move the horizontal arm horizontally along the arm shaft, loosen the Horizontal rotation/ horizontal movement clamping knob. Lift the microscope slightly for Bonder arm rotation vertical clamping knob smooth movement. clamping knob 2. To rotate the horizontal arm by 360° around the column, loosen the hori- zontal rotation clamping knob.

SZ2-STU1/STU3 Rotating the distal end enables observation of a perpendicular plane or tall specimen. (Fig. 10) Be particularly sure to tighten the distal end rotation screws tightly. If they are loose, the distal end may rotate suddenly. Do not tighten the distal end rotation screws too much, as this may cause the distal end to slip out of the horizontal arm.
SZ2-STU2 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Install the stand on a level desktop (inclination less than 3°). 2. When moving the stand, make sure that the clamping mechanisms are secured tightly and lift the stand by holding it by the base plate. If the stand is held by the horizontal arm or column alone, the base plate may drop.

OPERATION 1. To move the horizontal arm horizontally, loosen the horizontal clamping knob @. The tension of the horizontal movement can be adjusted with the horizontal movement tension adjustment knob ². Rotating the knob in the direction of the arrow increases the tension and rotating in the opposite direction decreases it.

7. To rotate the mount shaft ² around the horizontal shaft, loosen the horizontal shaft rotation clamping lever @. When the clamping lever @ is loosened and the distal end is withdrawn by 2 to 3 mm, the rotation stoppers ³ are disengaged. After rotating the mount shaft to the desired position, tighten the lever firmly to clamp the mount shaft again.
