3-12-6 SEGMENT ARC AND
UNIVERSAL SPECIMEN HOLDER
The segment arc and universal specimen holder
are highly suitable for the clamping of small
specimens embedded in plastic (fig. 59).
•
The specimen is inserted in the holder (fig.
59.1) and clamped by means of the screw (fig.
59.2) with the hex head wrench (fig. 59.3).
•
Then the holder together with the specimen is
put into the segment carrier (fig. 59.5), where
the holder can be turned 360°.
•
Thus, the specimen can be aligned as
required.
•
Then, the holder is clamped by means of the
screw (fig. 59.4) in the selected position.
•
The carrier (fig. 59.5) can be moved on the
base (fig. 59.6). In this way, the surface of the
specimen can be oriented parallel to the knife.
•
The knurled screw (fig. 59.7) is used to tighten
the carrier on the base.
