Leica DM IRB manual Plate x/y stage, Only press the spring at the side

3-plate x/y stage

The 3-plate x/y stage no. 19, size 247 x 230 mm, x-y adjustment range 60 x 40 mm, is delivered in separate packaging and assembled as follows:

This stage is usually delivered with the DM IRM, so the description of its assembly has been taken from the DM IRM manual!

1.Screw the 3 Allen screws out of the stage support surfaces and wipe any remains of packaging or dust, etc. from the stage with a clean cloth.

2.Align the stage with the x-y drive (49.1) at the front right and lay it so that its undersurface rests on the stage support surfaces.

3.Align the drill holes in the stage over those in the support surface. If the drill holes are covered, please adjust the upper stage plate with the x-y stage drive.

4.Screw down the stage with Allen screws.

To assemble the square insert plate:

1.Insert the corner of the insert plate that is marked red (50.5) at an angle from above into the corner of the stage that is also marked red and is fitted with a spring (50.5).

!n. b.:

Only press the spring at the side!

Do not press the square insert plate onto the spring from above, as the insert will then not be aligned plane-parallel to the stage and can be bent.

2.Drill holes (50.2) for attaching small biological specimen clips.

3.Insert the round stage inserts into the opening (50.1).
