Attachment of Microscope Stages and Specimen Holders
The Axiolab A microscope is available with three
different stages:
- fixed stage (3-11/
1
),
- gliding stage (3-11/
2
) or
- mechanical stage (3-11/
3
).
The retaining clips (3-11/
4
) are used to hold
specimens mounted on a 26
×
76 mm microscope
slide. They are inserted into the drilled holes in the
specimen stage.
With the mechanical stage, the specimen holder
with spring clip ”R” (3-11/
5
) is used to guide the
above slides. For the examination of opaque
objects, the mechanical stage can be equipped
with the specimen holder A (3-11/
6
).
The stages can be changed by the users
themselves:
•
Loosen hexagonal screw (3-12/
2
) on the right
side of the stage until the stage (3-12/
1
) can be
removed from the dovetail (3-12/
3
).
The stage can be attached again and fixed in
reverse order.
☞
If the maximum specimen height is
20 mm, the stage is secured in the
upper stop position; for higher
specimens, the lower stage stop must
be used (specimen height up to max.
45 mm).
The mechanical stage can be secured
only in the upper stop position, and
therefore only allows specimen heights
up to 20 mm (only 18 mm with
specimen holder A).
