Assembly 

 

4.1  Microscope head 

 
Inside  the  packaging  the  microscope  head  is  already  mounted  but  inclined  towards 
the rear. In order to turn it to the front you must loosen the fixing screw on the tube 
connection point and after the turning fix it again with the screw. In case of removing 
the head completely from the housing, you should always make sure that you do not 
touch the lenses with your bare fingers and that no dust enters the apertures. 
 
 

4.2  Objectives 

 
All  four  objectives  are  already  mounted  to  the  nosepiece.  After  removing  the 
protective foil they are ready for use. They are ranged in such a way that if you turn 
the  nosepiece  clockwise,  the  objective  with  the  next  higher  magnification  appears. 
When the objectives need to be dismounted, you should always make sure that you 
do not touch the lenses with your bare fingers and that no dust enters the apertures. 
For  objectives  which  are  marked  “OIL”,  you  must  use  an  immersion  oil  with  the 
lowest level of inherent fluorescence. 
 
 

4.3  Eyepieces 

 
You  must  always  use  eyepieces  with  the  same  magnification  for  both  eyes.  These 
are  already  placed  onto  the  tube  connectors  and  each  is  fixed  with  a  small  silver 
screw under the eyepiece on the tube connectors, so that they are turnable but you 
cannot  pull  them  out  of  the  tube.  When  changing  the  eyepieces,  you  must  loosen 
these  screws  and  once  the  new  eyepiece  is  fitted,  then  they  must  be  re-tightened. 
You should always make sure that you do not touch the lenses with your bare fingers 
and that no dust enters the apertures. 
 
 

4.4  Condenser 

 
The condenser is firmly fixed onto a holding ring (condenser holder) underneath the 
microscope stage. The lever for the aperture diaphragm is directed towards the front. 
There  is  the  ability  to  adjust  the  height  of  the  condenser,  but  not  to  centre  it.  We 
recommend that you use the course adjustment knob to bring the specimen stage to 
its uppermost position when you need to remove the condenser. Then use the focus 
dial of the condenser to move the condenser holder to a low position. In this way the 
condenser can be taken off after loosening the three screws on the holding ring.  

If the microscope has no focus dial for the condenser, the height adjustment is 
done by turning the condenser on its vertical axis. 

You should avoid touching the optical lenses with bare fingers.
