2. Attaching the stage glass or the glass slide holder
The 3x2 stage comes with a stage glass as standard equipment. When a glass slide or a high NA
condenser is used for the observation of the specimen, an optional glass slide holder must be
attached in place of the stage glass. Refer to the following to attach the stage glass or the glass slide
holder.
1 Loosen the clamp screw on the left side of the stage
upper plate by using the hexagonal wrench.
2 Place the stage glass (or the glass slide holder) onto the
stage and fit it in position so that it is level.
3 Tighten the clamp screw to fix the stage glass (or the
glass slide holder).
Take care not to lift up the stage glass by tightening the
clamp screw too much.
3. Attaching the condenser upper limit positioning plate
If the rotatable mechanical stage is directly
attached, the condenser may hit the stage because
the rotatable mechanical stage is thinner than other
stages by 1 mm. To use the rotatable mechanical
stage, attach the condenser upper limit positioning
plate to the condenser holder to prevent the
condenser from hitting the stage.
To attach the plate, move the substage to the upper
limit and the condenser holder to the lower limit.
And then, attach the plate onto the positioning boss
located on the upper surface of the condenser
holder. (Refer to the right figure.) No tool is
required to attach the plate because the positioning
boss is equipped with a magnet.
