3.4.5 Installing/removing
the
illuminating mirror
The mirror serves to illuminate the specimen if no
power outlet is available.
It can be used only in combination with the
Primo
Star Fixed Köhler Microscope. For this
purpose, it is necessary to remove the condenser
and the condenser carrier insert.
Installing the illuminating mirror:
•
Remove cover cap (Fig. 15/
6
) from luminous-
field diaphragm (Fig. 15/
5
).
•
Using an Allen key, loosen the clamp screw
(Fig. 15/
2
) of the condenser and the centering
screws (Fig. 15/
3
) of the condenser carrier
(Fig. 15/
4
) so that the condenser (Fig. 15/
7
) can
be removed frontward. Remove the condenser
(Fig. 15/
7
).
•
Unscrew clamp screw (Fig. 15/
2
or
Fig. 16/
1
)
from condenser carrier insert (Fig. 15/
1
or
Fig. 16/
3
).
•
Push the condenser carrier backward against
the spring and inclining it remove it upward
from the condenser carrier (Fig. 15/
4
).
•
Insert the mirror (Fig. 16/
5
) from top through
the aperture of the condenser carrier and place
it onto the mount of the luminous-field
diaphragm (Fig. 16/
2
). Take care that the mirror
rests level on the mount.
•
Rotate and incline the mirror until the daylight is
reflected homogeneously into the light path.
Removing the illuminating mirror:
•
Remove the mirror (Fig. 16/
5
) upwards through
the aperture of the condenser carrier.
•
Slightly incline the condenser carrier insert
(Fig. 15/
1
or Fig. 16/
3
) to insert it in the
aperture of the condenser carrier. In doing so,
press the unit backward against the spring and
place it horizontally onto the condenser carrier.
•
Screw the condenser clamp screw (Fig. 16/
1
)
into the condenser carrier insert.
