Moving the specimen
} The specimen can be moved with the X-, Y-axis knob or freely
according to the position of the clutch levers.
When observing a light specimen, perform the clutch
operation especially carefully to avoid deviation of the
specimen position. It is recommended securing the
specimen.
Free Movement

a b
either to the right or
left direction, the clutches are released and the stage can be moved
freely. .

to the stage glass, and forcibly pulling up such a specimen
may cause the stage glass to detach. To prevent this,
remove the adhered specimen by sliding it laterally.
