The heating stage is fitted to the contact points of
the stand using three spacer disks.
•
If required, remove the microscope stage and
additional mounting components.
•
Place the spacer disks (Fig. 30/
2
) on the three
contact points of the stand.
•
Place the heating stage (Fig. 30/

) onto the
stand and screw into place from above using
three Allen screws. Ensure that each screw
passes through the hole in the relevant spacer
disk.
•
Connect the heating stage to the mains power
supply as described in the separate operating
manual.
If the heating stage is used, the nosepiece must be lowered fully using the focus drive before
changing objectives, as otherwise the objective may collide with the heated stage.

Before attaching the gliding stage to the stand, the three support elements on the underside of the
gliding stage must be unscrewed.
•
Place spacer disks on the three contact points of the stand.
•
Place the gliding stage on the stand and screw in place using the three Allen screws from above.
Ensure that each screw passes through the hole in the relevant spacer disk.
If the gliding stage is used, the nosepiece must be the lowered fully using the focus drive before
