Tilt Stage
The tilt stage (10357) allows you to vary the sample angle or height (see Figure 7-14).
To fit the tilt stage:
1.
Check the machine is not operating.
2.
Open the top cover fully so that it rests against its back stop.
3.
Remove any installed stage by lifting carefully upwards.
4.
Fit the tilt stage by locating its shaft in to the top of the stage rotation drive spigot
protruding from the baseplate and with a twisting motion. Push gently down until
the collar around the shaft rests on top of the drive spigot.
5.
Adjust the tilt angle:
a.
Slacken the M3 screw below the stage with a hexagonal key
b.
Tilt the stage to the desired angle and retighten the M3 screw.
6.
Adjust the stage height above the base plate:
a.
Slacken the M3 screw in the collar with a hexagonal key
b.
Slide the collar to the desired position and retighten the M3 screw.
Remove the collar if you need more distance between the stage and the target:
the underside of the stage then rests on the top of the drive spigot. The
recommended position is so that the collar is a distance of 31.5mm below the
stage.
