Sapphire Flat
The Sapphire Flat serves as the mounting surface for the specimen. It is optically flat for easy specimen removal, clear to increase transmitted light through Platen Drive Shaft, and hard in order to minimize damage from over dimpling. If one surface is accidentally dimpled it can be flipped over providing another surface.
