2.  Replace the tall sample platen with the short one, and secure it in position by replacing and

 

tightening the retaining screw.

Figure A3.1e-f. Changing the MS2B platen.

3.  Refer to Appendix 4 to re-adjust the Platen height in order to centre the sample within the 

aperture. 

Sample adaptors are supplied with the AMSWIN-BAR package. Instructions for measurement 
procedures are given in the AMSWIN-BAR CD-ROM © Morris Magnetics Inc.
