Mounting position of the contrast shield
The contrast shied can be mounted at two positions: 60 mm or 30 mm from the stage surface. The shorter
the distance from the stage surface, the higher the light shielding performance, but it might become more
difficult to manipulate the specimen on the stage. For details on how to mount the contrast shield, see
“Chapter 7 Assembly of the Devices.”
