Atlas™ High Temperature Film Maker Accessory 

17 

This positioning and holding of the Top Half Assembly will allow access 
to the protective film on both the top (

13

) and lower (

14

) polished 

pressing surfaces. Remove (peel away) the protective films from both 
the top (

13

) and lower (

14

) polished surfaces and clean the surfaces 

using a soft lint free cloth or tissue and a suitable solvent (e.g. a 
degreaser or acetone). Similarly clean all the spacer rings (

18

) (sizes A 

through to F) before their initial use in the formation of a thin film. 
 

Installation of the High Temperature Film Maker 
Accessory into a Press 

 
After removal of the protective films from the polished pressing 
surfaces (

13

) and (

14

), return the Top Half Assembly of the Accessory 

back to the 

Sampling Position

, such that it is resting on top of the 

Lower Half Assembly (lower cooling block (

3

) and heated pressing 

surface assembly (

5

)). (See 

Fig 6.

).
