Carrier adjustments
The carrier
(2)
can be repositioned back and forth
on the microtome housing.
It also may be slewn to the side if required.
To do so, slightly lift the carrier at front and move
as desired.
To focus the microscope, the carrier may be ad-
justed in height by means of the knob
(9)
.
The flexible arms of the light guide
(12)
can be
placed in the optimum position. One spot can be
directed on the sample, whilst the other may be di-
rected on the knife.
Sectioning with a microtome will inevitably cause vi-
brations, which might be disturbing when using the
microscope at great magnification factors.
An adjustable plastic device
(18)
is located on the un-
derside of the carrier. To eliminate such disturbances,
readjust the plastic device.
Slew the carrier
(2)
to the side.
Screw the plastic device
(18)
further in our out as
required.
Slew the carrier
(2)
back.
Adjust the microscope zoom with the knurled knobs
(17)
.
A magnifier (optional accessory) may be used
as an alternative to the microscope.
Please refer to the combined carrier with
magnifier and illumination for mounting in-
structions.
