Change the sample holder

Draft outline

This page has real content below; the "Remove" section still needs writing.

Remove your sample holder​

TODO

Write the removal steps: power/stage state before removing, which screws to loosen, how to lift the holder out without hitting the objective. Image placeholder below.

Insert a slide holder​

Place the slide holder on the FRAME's stage as shown in the below image, and then use your Allen wrench to secure the slide holder with one screw at each corner of the slide holder:

slide holder: screws

Insert a well-plate holder​

First, place the well-plate holder on the FRAME's stage as shown in the below image (with the orientation shown in the below image), and then use your Allen wrench to secure the well-plate holder with one screw at each corner of the well-plate holder:

well-plate holder: screws

As we can see in the image above, three corners of the well-plate holder have flat surfaces, while the fourth corner has a small button attached to a spring-loaded mechanism which is secured with four screws. The well-plate holder should be oriented so that the corner with the button is closer to the rear of the FRAME, where the FRAME's illumination arm is mounted; that corner corresponds to your well plate's corner notch (chamfer) at the A1 position.
