Inserting a Plate Holder
Like the sample (X-Y) stage, the plate holder also has an A1 label to indicate its top left
corner.
To insert the plate holder:
1. Press the button at the top right of the instrument to open the sample door.
2. With the A1 label at the top left and the spring-loaded clamp in the open position (as
shown), insert the plate holder in the sample (X-Y) stage.
Note: Use the locking pin on the plate holder to ensure the spring-loaded clamp is
in the open position.
3. Confirm that the plate holder is seated flat in the sample (X-Y) stage.
4. Press the button at the top right of the instrument to close the sample door.
