PUTTING THE INSTRUMENT INTO OPERATIONCarl Zeiss Mounting Standard Components Axio Vert.A146 431030-7044-001 05/2012• Once the stage has been mounted on themicroscope stand, plug in the connection cablesto the XY drive (Fig. 3-10/1) and to the PC(Fig. 3-10/2).To enable scanning stage 130x85 motP;CAN to be used on Axio Vert.A1 stands,the stage must be directly connected toa PC with the aid of the CAN-USBconverter. The stage will be controlledvia the AxioVision software.3.1.6.4 Mounting Gliding Stage ZTo mount the gliding stage, follow the same procedure as for the mechanical stage.• Before placing the gliding stage on the stand, screw out the three support blocks located on theunderside of the gliding stage.• Put spacer washers on the three locating points of the stand.• Position the gliding stage on the stand and fasten it from the top with three Allen screws. In so doing,make sure that the screws also go through the holes of the spacer washers.When the gliding stage is employed, the objective nosepiece needs to be moved to the lowestposition possible before another objective can be rotated into position. Otherwise, the objectiveand the gliding stage may collide with one another.Fig. 3-10 Terminals on the Underside of theScanning Stage
