3.2.4.2 Measuring and Setting the Specimen Height
(1) Measuring of the specimen height with the height gauge
(a) The specimen is combined with the specimen stub and the specimen base stand.
The height gauge indicates the height of the specimen when the specimen stub and
specimen base stand (S, L) are combined as shown in Fig. 3.2-8. The height of the
specimen holder isn't contained.

(b) Use the height gauge to read the height of the specimen.
Be sure to read off the highest spot of the specimens.
The size of the specimen becomes the size of the specimen stub. When the size of the
specimen is larger than the specimen stub, the specimen size becomes the size of the
specimen.
