Swinging-arm stand ESD
The swinging-arm stand ESD is of conducting material (surface
resistance <10
11
Ohm/squared, discharge time <2 seconds from
1,000 V to 100 V). Two sockets for connecting ∅ 4 mm ground
cables are provided on the base.
̈ Insert 4 Allen screws into the base
from beneath and secure them to
the end of the column.
The safety ring secures the instrument and must always

̈ Retighten the clamping screw.
̈ Lower the cross-member onto the
safety ring.
̈ Retighten the clamping screw.
̈ Slide the horizontal arm into the
cross-member with the connecting
piece towards you.
̈ Retighten the clamping screw.
• The drive housing / microscope carrier can be fitted to
the horizontal arm in either of two positions (see page 34).
• The circular port in the microscope
carrier accepts an illuminator.
̈ Insert the peg of the inclinable focusing
drive into the connecting piece.
̈ Retighten the clamping screw.
̈ Fit the optics carrier in the
microscope carrier.
̈ Turn the optics carrier sideways in
the microscope carrier as required.
̈ Retighten the clamping screw.
