Fitting the Aqua Stop II
The Aqua Stop II should be used to protect the
objective and nosepiece when working with liquid
specimens.
•
Detach the microscope stage and screw out the
objectives.
•
Place the collecting trough (Fig. 20/
6
) onto the
nosepiece mount (Fig. 20/
8
) and screw in place
using two screws (Fig. 20/
9
).
•
Place the cover disk (Fig. 20/
7
) onto the
nosepiece.
•
Load the nosepiece with the required objectives.
•
Pull a suitably sized lens hood (Fig. 20/
1
) over
each objective.
Ensure that each lens hood is pulled up
to the cover disk.
Two types of lens hoods are available - size 1
(small) and size 2 (large).
−
Objectives with a front diameter of
16 - 22.5 mm
should be protected using the
DMR small lens
hood
(431716-0160-000).
−
Objectives with a front diameter of
27.5 - 34 mm
should be protected using the
DMR large lens
hood
(431716-0170-000).
When attaching the lens hoods ensure that the upper edge does not form a drip tray.
Unused nosepiece openings should be sealed using the caps supplied.
•
Attach the drainage tube (Fig. 20/
4
) to the drainage connector (Fig. 20/
5
). Insert the other end of the
tube through the bung on the collecting bottle (Fig. 20/
2
) so that it projects 3 to 4 mm through the
bung.
Adjust the tube in such a way, that the drain gutter of the collecting vessel is not bent when
focusing.
•
Insert the bung firmly into the collecting bottle.
•
Attach the enclosed Velcro fastener (Fig. 20/
3
) to the stand. Attach the collecting bottle to the stand
using the Velcro fastener.
•
Reattach the microscope stage.
In the event of any kind of accident involving liquids, the microscope stage should be removed and any
drops of liquid soaked up using a lint free cloth. In particular, the front lens of the objective must be
cleaned in order to continue to obtain optimum performance from the objective.
Cleaning instructions can be found in the brochure “The Clean Microscope”.
