2. The stage can be rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise by the
stage clamping screw.
A click may be heard and felt during rotation. However, this is
due to the construction of the substage and does not indicate
a malfunction.
} The angle of rotation varies depending on the positions of the X- and
Y-axis knobs.
