6. Assembly

From above, set the stage clamp onto the dovetail guide (4.2) and push the stage down- wards until the upper end of the dovetail guide is tightly fastened to the upper end of the stage clamp.

Firmly tighten the stage clamp (4.1).

Note:

Only for DM4500 P:

Pol attachable mechanical stage*

Adjust the attachable mechanical stage so that the fastening screw is visible below the holes (4a.1). Set the attachable mechanical stage in the guide holes on the rotating stage and tighten the fastening screw using the hexagonal key.

For thicker specimens (Leica DM4000 M) the stage can be set to a correspondingly lower level.

The attachable mechanical stage can be in- stalled on the left, on the right or on the front (not pictured). The two clamping screws fas- ten it into place.
