    Placing the Specimen

(Figs. 6 & 7)

When using a mechanical stage

1. Set the stage plate @. (Fig. 6)

2. Place the specimen ² on the stage plate with the observation surface

facing downward. (Fig. 6)

# When setting the stage plate on the mechanical stage, use the stage

plate holder ³ provided with the mechanical stage.

# Do not use the   35 mm petri dish holder | and slide glass holder

.

When using a plain stage

1. Select the stage center plate @ according to the specimen size and

place it on the hole at the center of the stage.

2. Place the specimen, with the surface to be observed facing down, gently

on the stage center plate.

With the GX-CP stage center plate, hold the specimen by applying opti-

mum weight with the specimen holder ².

# Do not forcefully press the specimen holder against the stage cen-

ter plate for it may deform the plate.

When the specimen is heavier than 1 kilogram, special care is re-

quired because the stage center plate could be deformed or the

operability of the stage feed knobs may deteriorate.

}If the stage center plate is removed, a specimen as heavy as about 5

kilograms can be placed on the stage. Set up the microscope on a

sturdy desk. In the environment susceptible to external vibration, it is rec-

ommended to use the portable anti-vibration table.

    Moving the Specimen

(Fig. 8)

When using the plain stage, move the specimen directly by hand or

manually move the stage plate on which the specimen is placed to the

required position. When using the mechanical stage, turn the feed rings

on it to move the specimen.

# The maximum weight of a specimen that can be placed on the

stage plate @ when using the mechanical stage is 400 grams. Speci-

men weighing more than 400 grams will prevent the stage plate•fs

movement from following the rotation of the feed rings.

# Do not place a heavy object including a specimen on the area ²

directly above the feed rings of the mechanical stage. This may ad-

versely affect the mechanical stage and could cause the specimen

to drop.
