5.2.5.3 Inserting the Setup in the Magnet
Move the setup smoothly into the center of the magnet. Shift it to the zero position and fix
it with the fixation screw (1) shown in Figure 5.14. Two scales, one for horizontal shifts (2)
and one for rotation (3) help exactly positioning the animal.
Figure 5.14: Fixate the Basic Animal Holder in the magnet with the knurled screw (1). Two scales,
one for horizontal shifts (2, with 2-mm division), and one for rotation (3, with 3-degree division)
facilitate positioning. The Magnet Center Position is reached when both scales show zero.
