Heating system
Vibrations
Cause
Action
The float is touching the table
plate and vibrations are trans-
ferred directly to the microscope.
The floater should be in the
centre position of the hole.
Air should be all around the
floater.
Loose tightening bolts.
Tighten four tightening bolts.
The spring system is not
painted and has to be
completely grease free to
function.
The surface is made to be
rough intentionally.
Grease or oil on the surface of
contact points.
Clean the area with 70% al-
cohol.
Tight cables of micro-
manipulators or any other
equipment that are placed
on the table top will result
in vibrations being trans-
mitted directly to the mi-
croscope.
Cables routed incorrectly.
Tie cables so that they would
not touch the table and would
hang loose between the at-
tachment points.
Microscope is placed unevenly
on the floater.
The weight of the microscope
has to be distributed evenly
on the floater. Since the back
part of a microscope is the
heaviest, it should be moved
more to the front of the table
plate.
