Operation Rules

  1. Put the sample stage on the heating stage with a temperature of 130℃.
  2. After heating for 5 minutes, use wax rod tip to touch the fixing stage surface. Just use a little wax (about 1mm diameter). Let wax sufficiently melt to the flowing state.
  3. Carefully place the sample on the wax.
  4. Gently press the sample with a toothpick to make it fixed on the fixing stage. Softly push the sample to move in a small circle to ensure that the wax is even and thinly distributed.
  5. Remove the sample fixing stage away from heating stage, and cool it down to room temperature.
