Inserting the specimen
Once the cryochamber has cooled down to
the desired temperature (e.g. -80 °C for
trimming of Tokuyasu technique specimens),
insert the specimen pin with the specimen.
Make sure the knife holder is in loading position to avoid touching the
delicate knife edge.
Lock the specimen pin in the cryo specimen
holder.
Turn the small black lever in front clockwise
while holding the cryo specimen holder in
position with the small black lever in the
back.
Rotate the knife holder into „trimming
position“.
Lock the locking screw of the knife holder
with the 3 mm Allen key.
Start trimming and sectioning.
To change from sectioning position 1 (e.g.
the trimming knife) to sectioning position 2
(e.g. the sectioning knife), unlock the screw,
rotate knife holder and lock again.
