The microscope is fitted with anti-mould protection which is effective for approximately
three years. However, the effective life of this protection will depend on environmental
factors such as the temperature and humidity of the place where the microscope is stored.
Regular inspection of the microscope will help early identification of mould and alert the user
of the need to replace the anti-mould protection.
To replace the anti-mould pellet:
1.
Zoom the microscope to the
lowest
magnification setting
2.
Loosen the thumbscrews on either side of the microscope head, and disconnect the zoom power
cable.
3.
Lift the microscope out of the mounting ring
4.
Remove the prism protector from the auxiliary objective assembly by prying it apart
5.
Unscrew the cover from the bottom of the microscope head. The location of the existing anti-
mould pellet will be revealed from the front of the microscope head.
6.
Remove the old anti-mould pellet.
