8. Installation
8.1 Installing the objectives
1
Turn the coarse focusing knob (1) until the nosepiece reaches
its lowest position.
For a safe transport, the nosepiece is placed in the lowest
position and the tension adjustment collar (2) is adjusted to the
proper tension when the microscope leaves the factory. (Fig.1)
2
Screw the lowest magnification objective on the nosepiece
from the right side, then turn the nosepiece 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. (Fig. 2)
Clean the objectives regularly. In inverted microscopes, the
objectives are very sensitive to dust.
To prevent dust and contamination from entering the
microscope, cover all the unused holes with dust caps (3).
(Fig. 3)
When operating, use the low power objective (10X) to search
and focus the specimen, then switch to higher magnifications.
When switching between objectives, slowly turn the nosepiece
until it clicks. The click means that the objective is in the right
position, in the center of the light path.
8.2 Installing stage extension or
mechanical stage
Stage extension and mechanical stage are optional
accessories for some models.
Stage extension can be installed on either side of the stage to
enlarge the working surface.
Mechanical stage can only be installed on the right side of
the stage.
1
Installing the units: screw the bolts in the fixing holes of the
attachments, then mount the unit from below the stage.
