Set the column of the focusing drive on the provided mounting face of the stand base and secure with
four hexagon socket screws (SW 8) from below.
The stand base 450 (Fig. 5/
10
) has two mounting faces for the focusing drive. The mounting
face on the right-hand side is only used for the motor focus with profile column 490 mm
(Fig. 5/
4
). The stand base 300 (Fig. 5/
12
) has on the central mounting face.
If the optional transmitted light unit S or transillumination top 450 mot. is to be used, see
If a stage is to be used, see Section 3.7, page 26.
•
Push the carrier (Fig. 5/
7
) or nosepiece Z 2x cod. (Fig. 5/
8
) onto the focusing drive until the orientation
screws engage; hold it steady until the first screw has been tightened.
•
Tighten all four hexagon socket screws (SW 5) with the Allen key (Fig. 5/
9
).
Install the carrier (Fig. 5/
5
) rotated by 180° to enable observation of taller samples.
•
Insert plate (Fig. 5/
11
).

Setting the torque of the manual focusing drive (coarse/fine drive)
The torque of the manual focusing drive may need to be readjusted if the latter slips down by itself (e.g.
due to additional weight on the microscope body or the nosepiece). In this case, the torque must be
increased. The tension has been set correctly if the drive no longer slips.
With additional weights of 10 kg or more on the carrier or nosepiece, it is advisable to use the motorized
focusing drive.
If the drive is too tight, the torque may also be reduced to enable it to move more freely.
With a coarse/fine drive with column 490 (Fig. 5/
3
) the torque-adjusting ring is on the right-
hand focusing knob, with a coarse/fine drive with column 350 (Fig. 5/
1
) it is on the left focusing
knob.
•
Insert the supplied ball-head screwdriver with SW 3 mm (Fig. 5/
2
) into one of the radially arranged
bores on the torque-adjusting ring.
•
To increase the tension (braking force), hold the coarse-focusing knob tight with your hand and turn
the torque-adjusting ring clockwise. To reduce the tension of the focusing drive, turn the torque-
adjusting ring counterclockwise.
