Adjusting the distance between specimen
arm and cryochamber should be done as
follows:
Press the cryochamber to the right side and
north against the UC7 or UC6 base plate (red
arrows). The distance will be adjusted by
turning the adjusting screw on the front side
of the FC7 cryochamber using the 2 mm
Allen key. For accurate setting the 0.5mm
spacer (transparent plastic foil) can be used.
Lock the FC7 cryochamber to the chassis of
the Ultracut UC7 by turning the lever „a“
clockwise until its end stop position.
Make sure the FC7 is firmly connected by
gently pulling in the south direction.
To increase the clamping remove lever „a“ by
unscrewing slot screw. Reposition the lever
an eighth counter clockwise on the clamping
shaft and lock FC7. Repeat procedure until
FC7 cannot be removed by gently pulling in
south direction.
Fix lever by tightening the slot screw.
Push the knife plate of the EM FC7 until its
north end stop position. Lock the knife plate
to the knife stage of the Ultracut UC7 or UC6
by turning the lever b clockwise.
Move the cryo specimen arm up and down
by turning the hand wheel to make sure that
there is no contact to the cryo chamber.
Make sure the cryochamber is levelled out with a spirit-level placed on the top
plate of the cryochamber (see operating manual of the EM UC7 as well).
