Switch off the Axio Zoom.V16 microscope and illumination. 

 

Remove the base insert plate (Fig. 2/

1

). To do this loosen the short socket head screws (Fig. 2/

2

), lift 

the insert plate (use recessed grip (Fig. 2/

4

) on the right edge of stand base for the purpose) and lift 

securely with both hands. 

 

Loosen the three socket head screws (SW 3) in the adapter ring (Fig. 2/

3

) using a ball-headed 

screwdriver and remove the adapter ring. 

 

Mount the transillumination top 450 mot. (Fig. 2/

6

) on the base plate (Fig. 2/

5

).

Mounting the transillumination top 450 mot. 

 

 

For parallel alignment push the transillumination top slightly backwards with the finger (Fig. 3/

8

) and 

screw it hand-tight to the base plate using the four countersunk captive hexagon socket screws (SW 3) 
(Fig. 3/

7

). 

 

The transillumination top may not be connected to the mains supply until the shipping screws 
(Fig. 3/

9

) have been removed; damage may otherwise be caused by the initialization runs thus 

triggered.  

 

The two shipping screws (Fig. 3/

9

) must be removed and kept in a safe place. 

 

Insert the magnet-coded receptacle d = 84 mm (Fig. 3/

6

) with polarizer (Fig. 3/

5

) only for polarization 

applications (pay attention to markings for north-south orientation). Attach the respective analyzer to 

the objective.  

 

If the magnet-coded receptacle d = 84 mm (Fig. 3/

6

) is mounted or removed at a later time, the 

microscope system must be switched on again/restarted for the new status to be recognized.  

 

Place the insert plate (Fig. 3/

4

) on the transillumination top. 

 

Insert assembly aid d = 120 mm (Fig.  3/

3

) and align with the threaded holes. This will prevent the 

screws and small parts from falling into the transillumination top. 

 

Screw the insert plate onto the transillumination top using the three hexagon socket screws (Fig. 3/

1

).  

 

Remove assembly aid d = 120 mm. Insert the glass plate 120 mm (Fig. 3/

2

). 

 

To prevent eye injury due to scattered light, attach and swing in the antiglare shield (Fig. 1/

I

) on 

the right or left of the mount or revolving nosepiece.
