Stage Rotation

Caution
Do not try to put a large specimen on the stage if the specimen is larger than the stage.
Stage rotation
To rotate the circular graduated stage, loosen
the stage rotation clamp screw and turn the
whole stage carefully by hand.
The angle of rotation can be read to 0.1
degrees with the two vernier scales.
45° click-stop function
Turning the 45° click-stop lever towards the
front until it stops causes the click-stop
function to move in 45° increments from the
position where the lever was rotated. This
makes it possible to move easily and
accurately from the extinction position to the
diagonal position.
Turning the lever towards the back until it
stops releases the click-stop function.
Release the click-stop function where the stage
has dropped into a click position. If the click-
stop function is released where the stage is not
at this position, the first 45° increment will not
be accurate the next time the click-stop
function is operated.
Attachable Mechanical Stage (Option)
The optional attachable mechanical stage is
installed by inserting the two pins on the
bottom into the two pinholes on the stage
surface. Tighten the clamp screw using the
supplied hexagonal wrench.
To move the specimen position under
observation, rotate the knob on the stage. You
can adjust the position in the X-direction and
Y-direction individually. (Travel range: 35 x
25 mm) The travel amount can be read to 0.1
mm with the two vernier scales.
Specimens are fixed with a lever. So you can
change specimens with easy operation.
