3-9 SPECIMEN CLAMPING
To clamp specimens, different specimen clamping
systems are available. With the orienting adapter
it is simple to align the specimen properly in
relation to the knife.
3-9-1 UNIVERSAL CASSETE CLAMP
The universal cassette clamp (fig. 14) represents
a quick change system.
• To insert or remove the cassette from
between the fixed (fig. 14.1) and movable (fig.
14.2) jaws, pull the lever (fig. 14.3) to the front
(in the direction of the arrow).
Note:
To achieve optimal clamping keep the
locating surface of the cassette free of
paraffin.
3-9-2 UNIVERSAL CASSETTE CLAMP,
ADJUSTABLE
• To insert and/or remove cassettes between
the fixed jaw (fig. 15.1) and the movable jaw
(fig. 15.2), move the lever (fig. 15.3) upwards.
• To adjust the size to a cassette size which is
not according to the norm, use the nut (fig.
15.4).
