Condenser
Raise the stage by turning the coarse focus knob.
Lower the sub-stage (condenser carrier) by turning the condenser
focus knob.
Insert the dovetail mount with aperture scale facing the front.
Secure with condenser clamp screw.
Turn the condenser focus knob to raise the condenser as far as it will
go.
3.8
Intermediate Tube
Loosen the intermediate tube clamp screw on the microscope arm.
Insert the round dovetail mount of the intermediate tube into the
round dovetail mount on the microscope arm by tilting it at an angle.
When fitting, insert the positioning pin on the underside of the
intermediate tube in the receiving groove on the arm.
Secure in position with clamp screw.
Given that the intermediate tube contains a built-in depolarizer, it is
not necessary to be concerned with the relationship between the
plane-polarized beam and photomicrographic devices. (See Microscope
Terminology)

Analyser Slider
Unscrew the analyser slider knob from the side of the slider. Insert
into the slot of the intermediate tube with the analyser-rotating dial
positioned on the right of the intermediate tube. Secure with slider
knob.
3.10
Compensators
Insert the compensator into the compensator slot of the intermediate
tube.
The compensator slot is oriented so that accessory plates are inserted
at 45º to the cross-lines.
3.11
Eyepiece Tube
Loosen the eyepiece tube clamp screw. Insert the round dovetail
mount of the eyepiece tube into the round dovetail mount on the
intermediate tube by tilting it at an angle. When fitting, insert the
positioning pin on the underside of the eyepiece tube in the receiving
groove of the intermediate tube.
Secure the eyepiece tube in position with the clamp screw.
Note:
The binocular tube is designed to prevent a cross-line slant that
can be caused by adjusting the interpupillary distance. In addition, the
direction of polarizing light oscillation can be precisely aligned.
