2 Moving the Specimen (Fig. 11)
With the IX2-SFR or IX-SVL2 Stage
To move the specimen to a desired position, rotate the X-axis knob 1
and Y-axis knob 2.
}When the index mark on the upper stage is aligned with the index line 3
provided on the substage, the center of the stage center plate aperture is
almost in the center of the optical axis. Use this as a guideline when
moving the specimen.
The travel area is 50 mm (X-axis) x 50 mm (Y-axis).
}The travel area of the IX-SVL2 stage is 50 mm (X-axis) x 43 mm (Y-axis).
With the IX-MVR Mechanical Stage
Specimens are moved in the same manner as outlined above.
}The stage travel area is 130 mm (X-axis) x 85 mm (Y-axis).
3 Connecting the Grounding Wire (Fig. 12)
With the IX2-SFR or IX-SVL2 Stage
}A grounding wire can be attached to the stage for electrophysiological
experiments, etc.
Prepare a grounding wire 1 and one M4 screw 2 and attach the ground-
ing wire as shown in Fig. 12.
# The screw hole may sometimes be stuck by paint, etc. In such a case,
screw in the M4 screw a few times to expose the metallic thread
inside the screw hole and improve the contact before attaching the
grounding wire firmly.
4 Adjusting the X-Axis/Y-Axis Knob Rotation Tension (Fig. 13)
With the IX-SVL2 Stage
}The tension of the X-axis and Y-axis knobs can be adjusted indepen-
dently.
1. Loosen the two setscrews 1 of a knob using the provided Allen wrench,
hold the stage so that it will not move, then rotate the knob to adjust the
tension. Rotating it in the direction of the arrow increases the tension and
rotating in the opposite direction decreases the tension.
2. After adjustment, tighten the setscrews firmly.
# If the tension of a knob is too tight or too loose, skipping or returning
of image may occur during the stage movement.
