To  remove  the  reverse  nosepiece  assembly,  hold  the 
reverse nosepiece assembly in place with one hand and 
use  a  suitable  JIS  screwdriver  to  remove  the  three 
M2.6X14 pan-head screws securing it to the microscope 
arm with the other hand (see 

Figure 4

).

Remove Corrective Optics and Wedge Mount 

The wedge mount is attached to the stationary base of 
the  turret  assembly  with  four  M2.6X25  pan-head 
screws,  and  by  the  corrective-optics  assembly,  whose 
threaded  end  passes  through  the  center  bore  of  the 
wedge  mount  and  screws  into  the  tapped  center  bore 
of the stationary base (see 

Figure 5

)

 

Figure 5 

 Screws securing the wedge mount 

Before attempting to loosen and remove the corrective-
optics  assembly,  use  a  suitable  JIS  screwdriver  to 
remove the four M2.6X25 pan-head screws securing the 
wedge  mount  to  the  stationary  base  of  the  turret 
assembly (see 

Figure 6

).  It is important to remove these 

four  screws  before  attempting  to  remove  the 
corrective-optics assembly, to prevent the barrel of the 
corrective-optics assembly from binding with the center 
bore  in  the  wedge  mount  (due  to  the  very  close 

tolerances  involved)  when  the  corrective-optics 
assembly is loosened and removed.

 Remove screws securing the wedge mount 

Once  the  four  M2.6X25  pan-head  screws  securing  the 
wedge  mount  to  the  turret  assembly  have  been 
removed,  use  non-marring  pliers  or  a  suitable  strap 
wrench  to  grip  the  barrel  of  the  corrective-optics 
assembly  and  loosen  the  corrective-optics  assembly  by 
rotating it counter-clockwise (see 

Figure 7

).

 Loosen the corrective optics assembly 

Unscrew  and  remove  the  corrective-optics  assembly, 
which  at  this  point  is  all  that  is  holding  the  wedge 
mount onto  the stationary base of the  turret assembly 
(see 

Figure 8

).  Once the corrective-optics assembly has 

been  removed,  place  it  someplace  where  it  will  be 
protected from physical damage, dust, and debris.
