3a.
For a left handed setup:
Ensure that the rotary stage is positioned midway
between the two stops and then loosen both of set screws using a 1.5 mm allen key.
Rotate the front plate clockwise until the magnet which determines the approach
angle is engaged with the stop. You should hear a small click as this happens.

Rotating the vertical stages and engaging the internal rotary ring
3b.
Now rotate the stage to the required angle and re-tighten the 2 set screws to lock
the setting. Once tightened, ensure that the vertical rotary stage can be freely rotated
clockwise, away from the experiment.
Note:
If the rotary stage cannot be freely rotated away from the experiment then it is
likely that the wrong magnetic stop was engaged at the start of the process. In this
case, move the rotary stage away from the current magnet, engage it with the other
magnet and proceed as above.
