3.19 Setting the dovetail guide of the
stage carrier
When stage carrier 430701-9901-000 is used, the
specimen space needs to be moved for specimens
of less than 13 mm, so that the specimen can be
focused.
To do so, proceed as follows:
• Remove the stage carrier (see Section 3.17).
• Loosen the four clamping screws (Fig. 31/1 to
4) of the dovetail guide.
• Move the guide plate (Fig. 31/5) as far up as it
will go in the slots.
• Then, tighten the four screws. Always proceed
in the following order:
− upper left screw (Fig. 31/1),
− lower left screw (Fig. 31/2),
− upper right screw (Fig. 31/3),
− lower right screw (Fig. 31/4),
• Attach the stage carrier (see Section 3.17).
If stage carrier 430701-9901-
000 is no longer used, the guide plate must be set back to the
lower position (normal position).
