3.4 

Converting the microscope 

 

Unplug the plug-in power unit from 
line power before converting the 
microscope. 

 

 

3.4.1 

Changing the tube 

• 

Loosen clamp screw (Fig. 11/

2

), turn the 

installed tube (Fig. 11/

1

) clockwise by 

approximately 90° (Fig. 11/

A

) and on the right 

side take it of upward (Fig. 11/

B

).  

 

For reasons of space, the tube may 
also be clamped by the grub screw 
with hexagonal socket head supplied 
with the tube. 

• 

Insert the tube to be installed, with the 
eyepieces pointing to the right and its dovetail 
mount slightly inclined, under the two holding 
elements (Fig. 11/

4

) in the stand. 

• 

Then, place the tube horizontally onto the 
stand. In doing so, the groove on the underside 
of the tube must be located above the third 
holding element (Fig. 11/

3

) of the stand. 

• 

Turn the tube counterclockwise by 45° 
(eyepieces pointing frontward), align it to the 
stand and tighten clamp screw (Fig. 11/

2

). 

 

For space-saving storage of the 
microscope (e.g. in a cabinet) the tube 
may also be rotated by 180° to the 
back. 

 

 

3.4.2 

Inserting color filters 

• 

Move the condenser carrier fully up by turning 
the knurled screw for vertical adjustment 
(Fig. 4/

15

). 

• 

Unscrew the cover cap (Fig. 12/

3

) from the 

luminous-field diaphragm (Fig. 12/

1

). 

• 

Put the desired filter – yellow, green or blue – 
(Fig. 12/

2

) onto the mounting surface of the 

luminous-field diaphragm and screw the cover 
cap back into place.
