There are two versions of the specimen holder, one with and one without specimen orientation, which are interchangeable.

The object orientation allows for simple position correction of the specimen surface when the specimen is clamped into place.

You can use the quick clamping system (64) to hold all available accessory specimen clamps (for more information, see Chapter 6 "Optional accessories").

To do so, proceed as follows:

Move the object head (60) to the upper end position by turning the handwheel (12) and engage the handwheel lock.

To release the clamping system, turn the screw (61) of the quick clamping system (64) counterclockwise using an Allen key size 4 (71).

Push the guide (63) of the universal cassette clamp (62) from the left into the quick clamp- ing system (64) as far as it will go.

To clamp the cassette clamp turn the screw (61) clockwise as far as it will go.

Fig. 22

Since all stage clamps available as accessories are equipped with the same kind of guide on the back, they are inserted in the same way described here using the example of the cassette clamp.
