6Installation
Follow the instructions in the following paragraphs to install the chamber properly.
Installation of the Chamber on the Stage
To fix the H301-MIZAR-TILT on the stage, follow the steps listed below and shown in Figure 6:
6. Fix the bracket to the SLR.300 Piezoconcept Stage with four M2.5x6 screws (see Image 1 of
Figure 6).
7. Fix the base of the chamber with two M3x6 screws on the bracket (see Image 2 of Figure 6).
8. Insert the sample holder (see paragraph 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5 according to the sample holder you
have purchased).
Figure 6. Installation of the Chamber on the Stage.
Working with MIZAR-1x22by40 Sample Holder or Mizar Cube Holder
The MIZAR-1x22by40 fits into the Chamber Base and it is held in place by the magnetic clamps in
order to prevent movement inside the opening on the base. To insert the MIZAR-1x22by40 Sample Holder,
follow the steps shown in Figure 8 and listed below:
1. Insert the MIZAR-1x22by40 into the Chamber Base (see image 1 in Figure 8).
2. Place the magnetic clamps over the insert (see image 2 in Figure 8), then push down the head of
the clamps simultaneously and move it in the direction shown in the image 3 of Figure 8.
3. Insert the Light Trap into the Chamber Base as shown in image 4 in Figure 8.

Note ►To work with Mizar Cube Holder, the procedure is the same as MIZAR-1x22by40 Sample Holder.

6
Working with 1”x3’’ chamber slide
The 1”x3” chamber slide fits into the Chamber Base and it is held in place by the magnetic clamps in
order to prevent movement inside the opening on the base. To insert the 1”x3” chamber slide, follow the steps
shown in Figure 10 and listed below:
1. Insert the 1”x3” chamber slide into the Chamber Base (see image 1 in Figure 10).
2. Place the magnetic clamps over the 1”x3” chamber slide (see image 2 in Figure 10), then push
down the head of the clamps simultaneously and move it in the direction shown in the image 3 of
Figure 10.
3. Insert the Light Trap into the Chamber Base as shown in image 4 in Figure 10.

Working with 35mm petri-dish
Flat springs prevent movement of 35mm petri-dish inside the opening on the Chamber Base. To insert
the MIZAR-1x35, follow the steps shown in Figure 12 and listed below:
1. Insert the MIZAR-1x35 into the Chamber Base (see image 1 in Figure 12).
2. Place the magnetic clamps over the MIZAR-1x35 (see image 2 in Figure 12), then push down the
head of the clamps simultaneously and move it in the direction shown in the image 3 of Figure
12.
3. Turn the flat springs (see image 4 in Figure 12) and insert the petri-dish (see image 5 in Figure 12)
into the sample holder.
4. Lock the petri-dish by using the flat springs (see image 6 in Figure 12).
