4 Rotating the Stage
(Fig. 31)
1. Slightly loosen the stage clamping screw @.
2. The stage can be rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise by the
stage clamping screw.
A click may be heard and felt during rotation. However, this is
due to the construction of the substage and does not indicate
a malfunction.
} The angle of rotation varies depending on the positions of the X- and
Y-axis knobs.

5 Adjusting the Stage Height
(Figs. 32 & 33)
} By lowering the position of the substage, the microscope will accommo-
date specimens with maximum height of 35 mm. This is useful when
observing metallurgical specimens and other thick objects.
1 Lower the stage to the lower limit, then remove the stage from the micro-
scope.
2 Using the Allen screwdriver, loosen the substage bracket clamping screw
@ and remove the substage.
3. Turn the coarse adjustment knob and raise the focusing block 3 to where
the stopper screw 2 on the arm becomes visible.
4. Using the Allen screwdriver, loosen and remove the upper stopper screw
2.
