3-5 Placing a sample
Select the stage center plate a according to the sample size and
place it on the hole at the center of the stage.
Place the sample on the stage center plate gently with the sample
surface to be observed facing down.
When using the stage center plate GX-CP, hold down the sample
using the specimen holder b by applying the appropriate weight,
if necessary.
·
Do not press the specimen holder toward the stage
center plate with excess force. The stage center place
may be deformed.
·
If the sample heavier than 1 kg is placed, the stage center
plate may be deformed or the operability of the stage
knobs may be deteriorated.
If you remove the stage center plate when using the stage
GX-SVR, the sample with the maximum weight of approx. 5 kg
can be placed on the stage. In this case, be sure to install the
microscope on a sturdy desk.
In the environment susceptible to external vibration, it is
recommended to use the portable anti-vibration table.
Observation position check mirror
Adjust the observation position check mirror c so that the illuminated area
of the sample is visible from near the binocular section.
If a 20X or higher objective is used, the working distance
becomes short and the illuminated area of the sample is less
visible.
