Inserting a Slide Holder

Like the sample (X-Y) stage, the slide holder also has an

A1

label to indicate its top left corner.

To insert the slide holder:

1. Press the button at the top right of the instrument to open the sample door.

2. With the

A1

label at the top left (as shown), insert the slide holder in the sample (X-Y)

stage.

3. Confirm that the slide holder is seated flat in the sample (X-Y) stage.

4. Press the button at the top right of the instrument to close the sample door.
