7.1 Microscope assembling
7.1.1 Installing the objectives
Turn the coarse focusing knob 1 until the nosepiece reaches its
lowest position. (Fig. 1)
For a safe transport, the nosepiece is placed in the lowest
position and the tension adjustment collar 2 is adjusted to the
appropriate tension when the microscope leaves the factory.
(Fig. 1)

Screw the lowest magnification objective on to the nosepiece
from the right side, then turn the turret clockwise. Install the
other objectives in the same way, following the sequence from
low to high magnification.
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 magnification objective
(4x or 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.
7.1.2 Installing stage and stage extensions
The stage extension can be installed on either side of the stage
to enlarge the working surface. The mechanical stage must be
installed on the right side of the microscope.
1
Installing the stage extension: screw the bolts on to the
extension, then mount the extension from below the stage.
