Switching on and off
Before switching on the microscope system the movement range of the mechanical / measuring
stage must be cleared and any objects removed from the stage to prevent collisions and
damage during stage calibration.
•
The mechanical / measuring stage S mot. is switched on and off with the microscope and initializes
itself automatically when switched on.
After switching on the warning message
Stage Calibration
appears on the display of the
SYCOP 3 with the request to remove objects from the stage. Calibration can be started
immediately with
OK
or interrupted with
Cancel
and continued later as necessary. See
separate SYCOP 3 operating manual under:
Home\Microscope\XYZ Position\Function\auto
) or
Home\Setup\Mode\Stage\Calibrate
).
Calibration is necessary for use of the SYCOP 3 memory function. It is recommended that this
is carried out immediately upon prompting. The settings in the
Memory
menu are thus
available again after switching the system off/on. Calibration of the measuring stage is a
prerequisite for positional accuracy.

Control elements on the mobile
coaxial drive
XY coaxial drive for stage control
−
Upper drive knob: Y adjustment (Fig. 11/
5
)
−
Lower drive knob: X adjustment (Fig. 11/
4
)
−
The drive knobs are height adjustable. Simply
push the drive knob up or down.
−
If required, the friction of the drive knobs can
also be adjusted:
To do this, hold the black sleeve and slide the
silver sleeve in the corresponding direction to
increase or decrease friction.
−
The horizontal position of the drive axis
(Fig. 11/
6
) can be individually selected: To do
this, loosen the two screws on the left
underside of the retaining bracket (Fig. 11/
7
)
and push the drive forwards or backwards.
Tighten the screws again.
