Inserting a Probe in the One-Piece Nose Assembly
Agilent nose assemblies are designed with a spring and guides to retain
the probe in the proper position for imaging. A spring key (Figure 37) is
included with the system to let you safely hold back the spring while
inserting the probe. Figure 38 shows a properly positioned probe.
