6. Optional Accessories
All specimen clamps available as accessories can be integrated into either the directional or
non-directional specimen holder fixture.
When clamping cassettes, make sure
that they are not clamped too tightly,
since the cassette bodies can bend and
result in sections that are
too thick or thin, or the entire specimen
may fall out and become damaged.
