4.7.1 Inserting the round specimen tray
The round specimen tray (45) can be installed
in place of the specimen block. It enables easy
separation of buffer solution and ice that can
accumulate in the main specimen bath.
Always remove the blade BEFORE in-
stalling or removing accessories!
To insert it, follow these steps:
• First, insert the V-block adapter (46) into the
tensioning clamp (46) as shown in Fig. 20 .
• Position the lower post at the bottom of the
round specimen tray into the V-block adapt-
er (46) so that it can be clamped into place
using the knurled screw (37) ( Fig. 21) .
• Hold the specimen tray horizontally and
clamp it into place using the knurled screw
( Fig. 22) .
