Assembly
The first step is to position the
microscope stand on a firm, level surface
. The term
stand covers the stand base (standing surface) as well as the metal pillar which is
connected to it.
The holder
is already on pillar of the stand, but you must always check whether it is
fixed
securely and that it is in the
correct position
(preferably centrally and facing to
the front).
Please see section 5.5 for more details on adjusting the stand.
The next step is to place the
microscope head on the holder
, by passing the
objective through the holder ring until the rest of the head is above the ring.
You must use the small silver adjusting screw on the front of the holder ring to
fix the
head
in place.
The alignment of the microscope head is left to the user to do and can be adjusted to
suit the individual application situations.
To make it easier to operate the focus wheels or lighting control for example, we
recommend that you position the head with the tube connectors centrally to the front.
Ideally, the holder and head are then parallel on the central axis of the stand base
(see figure on page 10).
Then you can remove the protective caps from the tube connectors so that you can
then
fit the eyepieces
. When doing this, please be particularly careful that you do
not touch the optical lenses with your fingers
and that no dust enters the
apertures.
You should also
never fit two eyepieces with different magnifications
.
With regard to the use of a device
with lighting
(OSF 523, OSF 525, OSF 527) you
must make sure that the
frosted glass stand inlay is fitted in the centre of the
stand base
, so that the transmitted light can be used correctly.
Also, when using reflected light please make sure, that the
connection cable
between the holder and upper side of the pillar is plugged in
.
Additional optional attachments:
The eye cups supplied with the microscopes can be fitted to the eyepieces.
(see section 5.6).
