turret.
•
Pull the modulator turret forwards out of the
stand and set it down.
•
Manually turn the turret disk until the desired
position is accessible in the opening (Fig. 28/

•
Screw out the retaining ring, using the dual-
function tool (Fig. 28/

•
Now, screw the threaded side of the tool
(Fig. 28/

) into the prism mount (Fig. 28/
3
) and
then pull the DIC prism (Fig. 28/

) out.
•
Remove the DIC prism from the tool and screw

to install the DIC prism.
•
Mount the DIC prism in reverse order, paying
particular attention to the correct orientation of
the DIC prism (tongue Fig. 28/
