Sample Rotation Stage Kit

The sample rotation stage kit is an optional system that enables using the sample
stage as a 4-axis stage, moveable in X, Y, Z, and R-axis directions, by attaching a
computer controlled sample stage equipped with a rotating mechanism (sample
rotation stage) to the EPMA-1720 series sample stage. This allows using the
computer screen operations to rotate the sample in any direction desired for
observation and analysis.
