6. Positioning the stage

MSTAGE  has  four  M6x0.25  microscrews  for  adjusting 
platform’s pitch, yaw, Y and Z axis. Two microscrews control 
platform’s  pitch  and  Z  axis,  while  another  two  control  yaw 
and  Y  axis.  All  of  them  can  be  adjusted  with  2  mm  HEX 
screwdriver.  

1. Make  sure  the  Platform’s  (“LOCK”)  and  Microscrew’s 

lock screws are loosen before any adjustment. 

NOTE:

 It is not necessary to unlock all microscrews if only 

one  axis  is  going  to  be  adjusted,  however  platform’s  lock 
screw should always be unlocked before any adjustment. 

2. While  adjusting  the  platform  make  sure  it  is  easy  and 

does not require a lot of force. If the adjustment started 
to feel tighter the “LOCK” screw must be loosen again. 

3. When  adjustment  is  finished  lock  all  four  microscrews 

with 1.5mm HEX screwdriver. 

4. If  microscrews  are  locked,  use  3  mm  HEX  screwdriver 

to lock the platform (“LOCK” screw) 

CAUTION! 

Do  not  use  more  than  0.8  Nm  force  while 

locking the stage with “LOCK” screw. 

CAUTION! 

Do  not  adjust  the  platform  with  adjustment 

microscrews while the platform or microscrews are locked. It 
may  damage  the  locking  mechanism,  or  any  other  part  of 
the translation stage.
