Assembly
All the steps described for the assembly of the microscope must be undertaken with extreme care,
and without forcing the placement of the distinct parts and elements of the microscope.
A. Condenser (10): Turn the coarse
focus knob (19) until the stage (8)
reaches its highest position. Turn
the focussing knob on the
condenser (Fig.1) until the
condenser holder reaches its
lowest position. Unscrew the
knurled locking screw on the
condenser, and insert the
condenser in the mounting ring so
that the aperture of the diaphragm
(9) faces the front of the
microscope and so can be
adjusted easily. Once firmly
placed in the mounting ring, firmly
tighten the locking screw, and turn
the condenser focusing knob until
in its highest position.
