3.2 INSTALLATION STEPS
3-2-1 Installing the condenser illumination unit and the
LED housing (fig. 3)
1.
Insert the condenser illumination unit (1) into the bracket,
according to figure .
2.
Turn the condenser illumination unit clockwise about 90°,
with the “AS” mark of filter holder (3) facing forwards. Align
the screw of the condenser illumination unit and the hole of
the holder, then screw the bolt in the hole with the supplied
hexagon spanner.
3.
Insert the connector plug (2) into the connector jack (4).
4.
Push the LED housing gently into the holes of the illumina
-
tion unit.
3-2-2 Installing the objectives fig. 4 & fig. 5
1.
Turning the coarse focusing knob (1) till the nosepiece rea
-
ches to its lowest position.
► For a safe transport, the nosepiece is placed in the lo
-
west position and the tension adjustment collar (2) is
adjusted to the appropriate tension when the micro
-
scope leaves the factory.
2.
Screw the lowest magnification objective on to the turret
from the right side, then turn the turret clockwise.
Mount the other objectives in the same way, following the
sequence from low to high.
► Note: the objectives can also be installed through the
stage opening.
►
Clean the objectives regularly. In inverted microscopes,
the objectives are very sensitive to dust.
►
To prevent dust and contamination from entering the mi
-
croscope, cover all the unused holes with dust caps (3).
►
When operating, use the low magnification objective (10X)
to search and focus the specimen, then switch to higher
magnifications.
►
When switching between objectives, slowly turn the nose
-
piece until it clicks. The click means that the objective is in
the right position, in the center of the light path.
