5.4.2 Installing the Double-walled Buffer Tray
When using the double-walled buffer
tray, the flow cooler must be installed
according to the assembly instruc-
tions prior to working with speci-
mens.
Clamps for holding the gassing hose for the buffer
in the proper position can be added to the double-
walled buffer tray. The specimen can be oriented
using the magnetic specimen holder before sec-
