+ | ====== Installing the MS-2000 MS-4000 XY Stage onto an Upright Microscope ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== The procedure has three parts: ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Removing the original stage. \\ | ||
+ | Installing the MS-2000 MS-4000 XY stage on the microscope \\ | ||
+ | Connecting the cables to the MS-2000 control unit \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 1 – Remove the Original Stage ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Before removing or installing the stage, the objectives should be removed from the nosepiece and stored in a safe and secure place until after the stage has been installed and aligned. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== For Screw-Mounted Stages: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove the retaining bolts and carefully remove the original microscope stage assembly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== For Dovetail-Mounted Stages: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Loosen the thumbscrew located in the front of the microscope and just below the stage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please refer to your microscope’s manual for any further information about removing the original stage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 2 – Install the MS-4000 XY Stage on the Microscope ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The MS-4000’s bottom plate has many mounting holes to fit various configurations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== For Screw-Mounted Stages: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mount the stage with new screws supplied with the ASI stage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slide the stage onto the microscope with the connector to the front, and the X-axis leadscrew to the front. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== For Dovetail-Mounted Stages: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The stage with the dovetail ring attached mounts to the microscope in the same manner as the original stage removed in Part 1. After the dovetail ring “drops into place,” align the stage so that it is parallel to the rear of the base of the microscope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 3 – Connect the Cables to the MS-2000 Control Unit ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The XY stage’s 6 ft. cable connects to the controller’s 25-pin female D connector. | ||
