} When attaching the BX3-SSU, refer to the BX3-SSU instructions.
} The following stage mounting procedures are commonly applicable
to the IX3-SVR, IX2-SP, IX2-GS and GX-SVR.
} When mounting the mechanical stage IX-MVR, attach first the plain
stage IX2-SP in advance (see the description on the bottom of this
page).
Gently place the stage on the microscope by aligning the stage
mounting holes with the threaded holes on the frame.
Insert the four provided Allen screws into the mounting holes .
Tighten the screws using the provided Allen wrench.
} Mount the stage so that the vertical (horizontal) direction of the
stage is parallel to the vertical (horizontal) direction of the micro-
scope.
Fit the stage center plate into the stage.
The stage center plate is designed very thin so that the objec-
tive will not hit it when the revolving nosepiece is rotated. Do
not subject the stage center plate to impact or excessive force,
as this may deform it.
} To facilitate confirmation of the objective front lens position and
application of oil for oil immersion objectives, rotate the stage center
plate so that the keyhole
a
will be facing the front.
Screw the stage clips IX-SCL into the threaded holes provided on
the stage top surface as needed.
} The mechanical stage with right handle IX3-SVR can be mounted
by reversing the front and rear to implement a stage with knobs on
the left position.
In this case, the movement range will be decreased and it will be
difficult to check scales.
Attaching the sample holder
Remove the holder fixing screws (4 screws) by using the Allen
wrench provided with IX3-SVR.
Remove the round stage center plate holder.
Set IX3-HOW in the center of the stage, and attach the holder fixing
screws.
If you are using IX3-HOW or IX3-HO35D, set the sample holder in
the center of IX3-HOW.
