Attaching the Sample Changer to the Sample Cage
Sample Cage (left) & Sample Changer
Cage & Changer Assembled
Start by inserting the black screw (1) into the sample changer. After a few rotations, the outer legs (2) of the sample changer are stopped by the outer segments (3) of the cage.
Now it’s important to align the two parts correctly. There are two ways to verify this:
The legs will only stay in place once the parts are aligned.
The kiutra signet (4) on the sample changer is over the segment with the small white pin (5) on the sample cage.
If the alignment of both parts is correct, insert the screw further.
Once the sample changer is mounted on the sample cage, both are inserted into the cryostat. The sample cage has one segment with a white pin and two segments with holes. The counterpart is in the cryostat, so there is only one way to insert the sample cage correctly.
