Replacing the Stage Encoder
The stage encoder is located under the specimen chamber. It does not need to
be replaced unless it fails, which typically does not happen during the lifetime
of the instrument.
The stage encoder can be replaced without removing the stage assembly from
the chamber, but it may be easier to remove the stage assembly first and then
change the encoder on a bench.
