Clamping the specimen block
Clamp the specimen block in the specimen holder in such a manner that it protrudes
from the holder by at least the same amount as the diameter of the specimen. Make
sure that the milling control lever (7) is in its top position. Insert the specimen holder
into the adapter (see 4.10.)

Adjusting and centring the specimen
Swivel the specimen pivot arm (3.1) using lever (3) into the front face observation
position (end-stop, indication 60). In this position the specimen axis and the
observation axis are parallel. Focus the microscope on the specimen using knob
(1.6)
The adjustment mechanism is designed to provide a rigid connection between the
sample holder and the pivot arm after the specimen is aligned. To open the
connection the locking pin (9.2) must be engaged into one of the four slots of the
knurled ring (9.3).
To engage the locking pin (9.2) move the pin from the rest position and turn knurled
ring (9.3) until the locking pin snaps into one of the slots. The locking pin is spring
loaded and will snap in automatically as soon a slot is in the correct position.
