Tip
When the large standard specimen clamp (50 x 55 mm) or the super mega cassette clamp is used, the
specimen orientation of ± 8° in north-south direction is no longer possible. The usable angle for the
large standard specimen clamp (50 x 55 mm) is only about ± 4° in this case.
5.1.6 Fine adjustment of the force balance
Fig. 51
1
If another accessory of a different weight is
mounted on the object head
, you
must check whether it is necessary to readjust
the force balance.
• Attach the new accessory and clamp the
specimen.
• Set the object head to half the height of the
vertical travel range by turning the handwheel
.
If the object head remains in this exact position,
the setting is correct.
If the object head moves, i.e. it is raised or
lowered, fine adjustment is necessary.
Warning
Wrong fine adjustment of the force balance.
Serious injury of the operator due to contact with knife and/or specimen damage.
• Before working with the instrument, always double-check that the fine adjustment of the force
balance is properly set.
• If fine adjustment is not properly set, do not work with the instrument but perform a readjustment.
• Especially after changing accessories at the object head, perform a fine adjustment of the force
balance immediately.
