5.5. Mounting a Headstage and Pipette
The PCS-6000 comes with an adapter plate for mounting typical patch-clamp
recording headstages. The adapter plate includes tapped holes to attach dir-
ectly to the plate supplied with the AXON CV-5 and CV-203B headstages; in
addition to holes for use with the HEKA EPC-9 headstage. Additional holes may
be added for other headstages.
1. Make sure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris.
2. Attach the headstage using four 2-56 x 3/8 screws (two extra screws are
provided). Use the A holes for the HEKA EPC-9 headstages; use the B
holes for AXON headstages.
3. Use the 5/64 hex wrench to tighten the screws.
