Mounting the mechanical stage
130x85 and mounting frame K for
mechanical stage
The mechanical stage is fitted directly to the stand
via three contact points with drilled screw holes.
•
To improve access during stage assembly, the
carrier for transmitted-light illumination
(Fig. 21/
3
) (if available) can be tilted backwards.
•
Place the mechanical stage (Fig. 21/
2
) on the
three contact points (Fig. 21/
4
) of the stand and
fix it in position using three Allen screws
(Fig. 21/
1
) (two at the front, one at the rear).
Appropriate spacer disks are included
with each stand and stage.
If using flat mounting frames which are
flush to the stage (e.g. 451344) and
160x110 stage pinhole apertures (e.g.
451345-9902)
do not use
spacer disks
(on mechanical and scanning stages)!
Mechanical stage 130x85 R/L can be attached with
the drive controls either on the left or right side. To
this end, the mechanical stage has three
countersunk holes on the front and three on the
rear side.
•
Now insert the mounting frame K (Fig. 22/
1
)
into the mechanical stage.
To do this, place the mounting frame corner
with the red dot (Fig. 22/
2
) on the mechanical
stage also marked with a red dot (Fig. 22/
3
).
Then press the mounting frame diagonally
against the springs and downwards into the
recess. Ensure that the mounting frame is
seated correctly.
