Field-Diaphragm Assembly
There were two versions of the field-diaphragm
assembly
used on the BHS/BHSU/BHT/BHTU
microscopes. The older style field-diaphragm assembly
is shown in
Figure 74 , and the newer style is shown in
Figure 75 .

Remove the Field-Diaphragm Assembly
Using a suitable JIS screwdriver, loosen and remove the
two m2.6x6 screws securing the field-diaphragm
assembly to the base casting (see
Figure 76 ).
Figure 76 – Remove screws securing the field diaphragm
Remove the (now loose) field-diaphragm assembly from
the base casting (see
Figure 77 ), being very careful so as
to not damage the Light Exit Assembly with the field-
diaphragm assembly (the two assemblies are very close
in proximity, and the reflective coating of the primary-
surface mirror of the Light Exit Assembly is extremely
fragile).

Servicing the Field-Diaphragm Assembly (Old Style)
This section applies only to the older style field-
diaphragm assembly (see

filed-diaphragm assembly is covered later in this
document.
Disassemble the Field-Diaphragm Assembly (Old Style)
The various components of the older style field
diaphragm assembly are shown in
Figure 78 (except for
the stop pin, which is shown in Figure 79 ).
