1. A mounting press for mounting samples in mounting material, comprising:
a pressing unit with a press cylinder,
a feeding device for feeding mounting material,
a sample loading table having a plurality of loading stations, on each of which the operator can place a sample to be mounted,
a control device adapted to control the mounting press with the following steps:
a) the sample loading table moves one of the loading stations with one of the samples to be mounted to a sample receiving position of the pressing unit,
b) the sample to be mounted is introduced from the sample receiving position into the press cylinder by a plunger drive and the mounting material is fed into the press cylinder,
c) the mounting operation is performed to produce a mounted sample,
d) the thus mounted sample is ejected upwards out of the press cylinder by the plunger drive, and
steps a) to d) are repeated to mount a plurality of samples.
