5. Working with the Instrument
5.4.3 Preparing a specimen
• Fix the specimen to the specimen plate using
the cyanoacrylate (included in the standard
scope of delivery).
• Screw the manipulator (6) onto the specimen
plate, place it in the buffer tray and adjust it to
the desired position.
• The specimen plate is held in place in the buf-
fer tray magnetically.

5.4.2 Installing the double-walled buffer tray
Clamps for holding the gassing hose for the buf-
fer in the proper position can be added to the
double-walled buffer tray.
Fig. 17
Connect hoses (2, in the scope of delivery of the
double-walled buffer tray) to the empty buffer
tray (bottom of Fig. 17). Access is easier if you
make the left connection first. To do this, pull
back the closure coupling (11), fit the hose until
it engages audibly, and then make the right-hand
connection.

When using the double-walled buffer
tray, the recirculating cooler/chiller
must be installed PRIOR TO working
with specimens.
