5.2.2 Adjusting the specimen and blade Positioning the specimen in the specimen
holder
You can adjust the lateral position of the speci-
men in order to attain an approximate centering
of the specimen in the specimen tray. Since one
of the jaws of the specimen holder is stationary,
the use of specimen mounting blocks of vary-
ing widths will allow for adjustable specimen
mounting.
Adjust the tilt of the specimen holder.
You can adjust the tilt of the specimen holder in
one axis in order to make the specimen surface
approximately horizontal.
• To do so, first unscrew the locking screw
with a plastic head between the front side of
the holder and the wall of the specimen tray.
• You can now tilt the entire specimen holder
to one side.
