3-9-4 FOIL
CLAMP
The foil clamp (fig. 18) is a clamping system for
foils or thin specimens.
•
To insert the specimen, loosen the three
clamping screws (fig. 18.5) slightly and push
the movable jaw (fig. 18.2) sideways against
the two springs (fig. 18.3).
•
The specimen is kept in place by the springs,
however, its position can be changed. Turn
the three clamping screws (fig. 18.5) to clamp
the specimen tightly.
•
When using an orienting adapter with the
instrument, first insert the enclosed graduated
ring into the orienting adapter by means of the
pin. With the graduated ring the orientation in
X-/Y-direction is annulled.
•
However, it is possible to turn in Z-axis 60° in
either direction.
•
Then insert the foil clamp.
•
According to the various specimens, it might
be helpful to use in addition MICROM's
sandwich supporting material (cat. no.
176010) on the right and left side between
specimen and clamping jaw.
