DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENTAxiolab 5 Control and functional elements on microscope components ZEISS05/2019 430037-7444-001 39Mechanical stage for reflected light 75x30 R− Mechanical stage (Fig. 2-14/2) for holdingand positioning specimens with specimenholding plate (Fig. 2-14/1) with spring clips.− Coaxial knurled knobs for X and Yadjustment on right-hand side.− Vernier scale for display of the adjustmentrange in the X and Y directions.− Removable specimen-holding plate (simplyunscrew the two knurled screws to removeit).Rotary stage Pol 360° with lock− The Pol rotary stage for holding andpositioning specimens with specimenguide (Fig. 2-15/4) and specimen holder(Fig. 2-15/6) accommodates standard45x25 mm slides and 75x25 mm (3”x1”).− 360° rotation with lock (use knurled screw tolock) (Fig. 2-15/5).− Click stop (Fig. 2-15/7) every 45°; enabledor disabled via the control knob (Fig. 2-15/8).− The specimen guide (Fig. 2-15/4) can beremoved by unscrewing the two clampscrews with an Allen wrench (AF 2),Fig. 2-15/3; two cylindrical pins on theunderside serve as orientation for mountingthe specimen guide on the rotary stage).− The specimen guide is equipped with aspecimen holder that can be shifted in the Xand Y directions using the coaxial knurledknobs (Fig. 2-15/2 and 1). The shifts in the Xand Y directions can be read off therespective Vernier scale.Fig. 2-14 Mechanical stage for reflected light75x30 R with specimen-holdingplateFig. 2-15 Pol rotary stage
