Do not attempt to rotate the stage handle forcedly exceeding
the stage movable range. The stage may be damaged.
•
As the objective may interfere with the stage depending on the
focus position, be sure to operate carefully.
CAUTION
Mechanical stage with right handle (IX3-SVR)
To move the specimen to a desired position, rotate the X-axis knob
a
and Y-axis knob
b
.
} If the stage is used for a long time period, the stage movement
range may be narrower rarely. In this case, move the stage several
times within the full movement range toward the front/back or right/
left direction while holding the top surface of the stage with both
hands.
Movement control knob
Attaching the movement control knob provided with IX3-SVR makes
it difficult to move the stage in the blocked direction. Even though
you may touch the stage accidentally during observation, the obser-
vation position can be secured.
If the movement control knob is attached to the hole of
c
, the
Y-axis movement will be blocked. If it is attached to the hole of
d
(backside of the stage), the X-axis movement will be blocked.
Do not tighten the movement control knob too firmly. The stage
may be damaged.
} If you tighten the movement control knob while focusing on the
specimen, it will be defocused.
