3.4 Assembling the 3-plate x/y stage no. 19
The 3-plate x/y stage no. 19, size 247x230 mm,
adjustment range x-y 60x40 mm, is delivered in
separate packaging and assembled as follows:
1. Screw the 3 Allen screws (15.2, 15.3) out of the
stage support surfaces and wipe any remains
of packaging or dust, etc. from the stage with
a clean cloth.
2. Align the stage with the x-y drive (15.1) at the
front right and lay it so that its undersurface
rests on the stage support surfaces.
3. Align the drill holes in the stage over those in
the support surface.
If the drill holes are covered, please adjust the
upper stage plate with the x-y stage drive.
4. Screw down the stage with Allen screws.
To assemble the square insert plate (16.1):
1. Insert the corner of the insert plate that is
marked red (16.2) at an angle from above into
the corner of the stage that is also marked red
and is fitted with a spring (15.4).
n.b.:
Only press the spring at the side!
Do not press the square insert plate (16.1)
onto the spring from above, as the insert will
not be aligned plane-parallel to the stage and
can be bent.
2. Drill holes (17.2) for attaching small biological
specimen clips (not part of delivery)
