Technical Description

(1) The rectangular insert holding arm is primarily used for mounting samples, experimental petri dishes and microscope slides in the optical path of a microscope. The holding arm is equipped with a rectangular groove that is compatible with SHX series rectangular inserts, allowing users to freely select and install different types of samples and experimental equipment, such as slides, petri dishes, recording chambers, patch clamps, multi-well plates and DIY inserts.

(2) The platform base of the MSH-X holding arm is fitted with an OOP-MA slider. By loosening the slider screws, the holding arm can move 50.2mm horizontally for adjustment within a certain position range. In addition, when used with a Ø1.5-inch connecting rod and CAX series lifting bracket, it enables additional quick adjustment of vertical height and angle. The top of the holding arm is provided with M6 screw holes for mounting other experimental equipment or accessories, which can support the installation of various experimental apparatus such as optical components, additional sensors or laser devices.

(3) The SHX-A rectangular insert is compatible with Ø30~60mm petri dishes and slides with a width of 25~26.5mm, enabling more experimental configurations than basic sample holders. It provides a larger mounting range to meet the requirements of various common experimental equipment and samples.
