8. Operation

8.2 Stages

The stages on the left and right side can be
moved either independently of each other, or
simultaneously in the X and Y directions.
The right stage is positioned using the setting
wheels on the front right (20.5) in the X direction
and on the right side (20.6) in the Y direction.
For the left stage, the setting wheels are,
respectively, at the front left (20.3) and on the
left side (20.2).
To move both stages simultaneously, press the
button (20.10). The LED underneath the button
lights up to indicate that synchronous adjust-
ment is active. In this case, the setting wheels
for the X and Y directions, as well as the focus-
ing handwheel, have the same function on the
left and right side.
Note:
The travel speed of the stages is adjusted to the
magnification setting. When viewed through the
observation tube, the speed always appears the
same when rotating the setting wheel. In fact,
for lower magnification the stage travels faster.
