5. Operation
5.1
Inserting the cryo specimen holder
Insert the cryo specimen holder into the
specimen arm.
Lock the cryo specimen holder with the
torque limited screw (a) using the 3 mm Allen
key.
If the cryo holder is locked in the 0° position initially, subsequent
reading of the next position (turned 90° for trimming) will be easy.
5.2
Inserting knives into the knife holder
Set the desired clearance angle (typically 6°).
Insert the desired knives (e.g. a diamond
trimming tool and a diamond 35° cryo
immuno knife for Tokuyasu technique
specimens.
Lock the knife by turning the locking screw
clockwise.
Clearance angle setting and
locking/unlocking of knives can also be done
with the knife holder in the cooled
cryochamber.
