2-10-5 SEGMENT ARC AND
UNIVERSAL SPECIMEN
HOLDER
The segment arc and universal specimen holder are
highly suitable for the clamping of small specimens
embedded in plastic (fig. 11).
Fig. 11
The specimen is inserted in the holder (fig. 11.1)
and clamped by means of the screw (fig. 11.2)
with the hex head wrench (fig. 11.3). Then the
holder together with the specimen is put into the
segment carrier (fig. 11.5), where the holder can
be turned 360°. Thus, the specimen can be aligned
as required. Then, the holder is clamped by means
of the screw (fig. 11.4) in the selected position.
The carrier (fig. 11.5) can be moved on the base
(fig. 11.6). In this way, the surface of the specimen
can be oriented parallel to the knife. The knurled
screw (fig. 11.7) is used to tighten the carrier (fig.
11.5) on the base (fig. 11.6).
