}96-well or 24-well microtiter plates, etc. are held in place by the speci-

men holder.
Microtiter plates with dimensions of max. 136 mm x 92 mm can be
accommodated in this way.

microtiter plate into the holder frame. Gently release the curved finger to
clamp. (Fig. 14)

}To secure other vessels than microtiter plates, various optional holders

are available. A Terasaki plate holder ² is available for holding Terasaki
plates (72-well, or 60-well). When using this, it is necessary to replace the
stage scales with those provided with the plate holder. Petri dish holder
³ is available for 35 mm, 54 mm and 65 mm diameter petri dishes, and
a slide glass holder | is available for holding slide glass, and the IX2-

eosinophil with mounting section dimensions corresponding to H 77 x
V 35 x D 2 mm can be used. A 60 mm diameter petri dish can also be
used.
