- Attaching the microscope body to column X95
• Depending on specimen and stage, attach and
clamp the microscope body (2-4/2) to column
X95 (2-4/1) in such a way that sufficient safety
clearance is available between the object plane
and the objective.
• Attach securing clamp (2-4/5) to column X95,
push it against the microscope body from
below and clamp it (clamping jaw (2-4/3) must
point to the rear).
• To lower the microscope body, first move the
securing clamp by the relevant distance and
clamp it. Then lower the microscope body
towards the securing clamp and clamp it in
position.
• If the microscope body is moved upwards, the
securing clamp must always be moved up with
it. The clamping screws (2-4/4) are tightened or
removed using the angled hexagon key
included in the line of accessories.
