holders or large samples (i.e., a T-75

stage as you turn the X-axis and Y-axis
knobs.
1. Pull the stage clip open and
place the vessel holder or sample

mechanical stage opening. Verify
that the edges are straight and the
sample is level.
2. Gently release the stage clip to
free the vessel holder.
