Rotating the Stage

1. Slightly loosen the stage clamping screw @.

2. The stage can be rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise by the

stage clamping screw.

# A click may be heard and felt during rotation. However, this is due to

the construction of the substage and does not indicate a malfunc-

tion.

}The angle of rotation varies depending on the X- and Y-axis knobs.

Adjusting the Stage Height

}By lowering the position of the substage, the microscope will accommo-

date specimens with maximum height of 35 mm. This is useful when

observing metallurgical specimens and other thick objects.

1. Lower the stage to the lower limit, then remove the stage from the micro-

scope.

2. Using the Allen screwdriver, loosen the substage bracket clamping screw

@ and remove the substage.

3. Turn the coarse adjustment knob and raise the focusing block ³ to

where the stopper screw ² on the arm becomes visible.

4. Using the Allen screwdriver, loosen and remove the upper stopper screw

².

5. Reattach substage bracket and stage.

}Store the removed stopper screw ² in a safe place so that it will not be

lost, if needed again.
