Inserting reversible eyecups
The eyepieces have rubber protection rings to avoid scratches on eyeglasses. These may be replaced by
reversible eyecups as desired.
•
To do this, remove the eyeglass protection rings (Fig. 3-6/
2
) from the eyepieces and mount the
eyecups (Fig. 3-6/
1
).
Sometimes the eyeglass protection rings are seated very tightly in the eyepiece groove, so you may need
a blunt object (wooden stick) to prod them off.

Screwing in objectives
•
Lower the mechanical stage with the stage
carrier to the bottom stop or lower the stage
carrier with the dovetail guide.
•
Remove the dust protection caps (
2
)
from the appropriate nosepiece openings.
•
Take the objective (
3
) out of its box and
mount it on the nosepiece (
1
), starting
with the smallest magnification factor (set up
clockwise).
•
Instead of an objective, you may mount an
object marker (
4
) on any position of the
nosepiece with the aid of a W0.8/M27 adapter
(
5
). Don’t forget to recap the object
marker when not in use to prevent it from
drying out.
NOTE
Always place dust protection caps over the positions in the nosepiece which are currently not
in use.
NOTE
The W0.8/M27 adapter must be used with the W0.8 objective.
