2-5 FEED
2-5-1 SPECIMEN COARSE FEED
For the fast forward and backward travel
between knife and specimen, the cryostat
microtome has a motorized coarse feed
system.
To move the specimen holder backwards,
press the button <coarse feed backwards> (fig.
18.1).
For short distances, press the button (fig. 18.1)
only slightly. If this button is pressed for more
than approx. 2 sec. the specimen holder
moves automatically to the back end position
and the motorized coarse feed shuts off. This
function can be stopped at any time. For this,
slightly press the button again.
When the back end position is reached, the
LED lights up.
Caution!
For your personal safety, before
activating the coarse feed
forwards, move the anti-roll plate
onto the
blade against possible splintering of
the
blade. This might be caused by an
incorrect coarse feed function.
Caution!
With the function <coarse feed
forwards> specimen and knife
edge are adjusted very quickly. To
avoid damage to specimen and knife, carefully
observe this adjustment process.
The specimen holder is moved to the front as
long as the button <coarse feed forwards> (fig.
18.2) is being pressed.
