2 Place the other set of rails in the reference position with the
notch towards the left side of the base plate. The setup procedure
for both sample and reference solid sample holders is otherwise
the same.
NOTE
If you are operating in normal or double mode, the reference position is at the
rear of the sample compartment. If you are operating in reverse mode, the
reference position is at the front.
3 Loosely clamp the slide holder to its base. Insert the slide holder
onto the optical rails but do not tighten the clamping screw.

4 Insert the solid sample slide with attached V holder or locking
plate into the center of the slide holder and tighten the side
screw.
TIP
Place the solid sample slide into the slide holder so that the slide masks the
light beam before it reaches the sample. This minimizes scattering of the light
beam.
5 You must now install the base plate into the sample compartment
(see Page 34) and then align the accessory (see the next section).
