CHAPTER 2 - SETTING UP THE WIRE MYOGRAPH - 620M

2.1 Changing and adjusting the mounting supports

Each chamber can accommodate mounting supports for either small vessels (>50µm) or larger segments (>500µm).The mount-
ing supports can be changed easily and experiments can be performed with different vessels of varying internal diameter.
Continuous use and repeated greasing of the transducer arm holes will cause some misalignment of the mounting supports.
Therefore whether it is mounting supports for jaws or for pins they will need occasional adjustments. Changing and adjustment
of the mounting supports is performed using the following step-by-step procedure.

OBS
THE TRANSDUCERS ARE FRAGILE AND SENSITIVE TO MECHANICAL STRAIN. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN CHANGING OR AD-
JUSTING THE MOUNTING SUPPORTS!

2.1.1 Changing the mounting supports (figure 2.1)

1. Use the micrometer to separate the supports as far apart as possible.

2. Use the small screwdriver provided to gently loosen screw “D” on the support attached on the transducer side using the

small screwdriver. Screw “D” is the screw on the transducer-side support closest to the transducer.

3. Gently pull the support away from the transducer pin.

4. Loosen screw “B” on the micrometer side with the appropriate fitting Allen key.

5. Pull the support away.

NOTE
NUMBER THE SUPPORTS WITH THE NUMBER OF THE CHAMBER THEY WERE REMOVED FROM USING SOME KIND OF
PERMANENT MARKER. STORE THE SUPPORTS IN THE PROVIDED PLASTIC CASE. NUMBERING THE SUPPORTS WILL SAVE
TIME WHEN THE SUPPORTS ARE CHANGED AGAIN, LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED AFTER EACH CHANGE.

2.1.2 Coarse adjusting the jaws for small vessels (figure 2.1)

1. Loosen screw “A” to move the micrometer side jaw toward or away from the micrometer.

6. Loosen screw “D” to move transducer-side jaw toward or away from the transducer.

3. Loosen screw ”C” to vertically alight the transducer side jaw. Screw ”C” is the screw on the transducer side support that is

furthest away from the transducer.
