There are two specimen holder fixtures with orientation and one without, please see ( → P. 68 – 6.
Optional Accessories) . The specimen orientation allows for simple position correction of the specimen
surface when the specimen is clamped into place. You can use the quick clamping system (

Optional Accessories) ).
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Move the object head ( → "Fig. 56- 1 ") to the upper end position by turning the handwheel
( → "Fig. 56- 6 ") and engage the handwheel locking mechanism.
2. To release the clamping system, turn the screw (
→
"Fig. 56- 2 ") of the quick clamping system
( → "Fig. 56- 5 ") counterclockwise using an Allen key No. 4 ( → "Fig. 56- 7 ") .
3. Push the guide ( → "Fig. 56- 4 ") of the universal cassette clamp ( → "Fig. 56- 3 ") from the left into
the quick clamping system ( → "Fig. 56- 5 ") as far as it will go.
4. To clamp the cassette clamp turn the screw ( → "Fig. 56- 2 ") clockwise as far as it will go.
Tip
Since all specimen clamps available as accessories are equipped with the same kind of guide on the
back, they are inserted in the same way described here using the example of the cassette clamp.
