Shifting a Sample
To view another part of a sample during microscopy, use the following procedure to shift the sample.
9.1
Sliding the Stage Plate
Loosen the stage plate fixing screw of the P-PS32 Plain Stand, the P-DSL32 LED Diascopic Illumination Stand or the
P-DSF32 Fiber Diascopic Illumination Stand to slide the stage plate. The stage plate can be smoothly and finely moved
within the 3 mm range. This mechanism is useful for positioning, especially for high-magnification observation.
Securely fix the stage plate in place using the fixing screw when this mechanism does not need to be used.
9.2
Shifting the Stage in the X and Y Directions (P-SXY64 XY Stage)
Turn the XY shift knob of the P-SXY64 XY Stage mounted in
place instead of the stage plate to shift the sample on the glass
plate and change the part to be observed.

X: 150 mm; 37.5 mm per rotation
Y: 65 mm (from the optical path, 50 mm towards the front, 15
mm towards the rear); 24.1 mm per rotation

9.3
Using Other Stages
Remove the stage plate from the base and attach the C-SSL DIA Sliding Stage or C-TRS Tilting Stage in place so that the
sample can be tilted or moved slightly.
