Assembling the multidiscussion equipment
For the installation of the multidiscussion equipment, we recommend you call on Zeiss Microscopy Service
(see Section 5.5), as it requires careful optical adjustment and centering of the fields of view of the
individual co-observer tubes.
If nevertheless you want to install the equipment yourself, follow this procedure:
•
Remove binocular tube and coupling plate or intermediate tube (if installed) from the stand (refer also
to 3.2 ff.).
•
Install the multidiscussion equipment (3-32/
1
) in the same way as the tube lens turret.
•
Remove the tube lens from the tube.
•
In place of the tube lens, screw in the gray filter (gray filter must be ordered separately. It is not
required when the high light intensive extension arm is used).
•
Insert the binocular tube or phototube (3-32/
4
) in the dovetail mount (3-32/
3
) of the multidiscussion
equipment, align it and fasten it by means of clamping screw (3-32/
2
).
•
To the left side of the multidiscussion equipment, attach connecting piece L (3-32/
5
), end connector L
7
) or the high light-intensity extension arm (3-32/
14
). In doing so, be sure to remove the
protective caps from the tube sockets. The pin must engage in the opening. Then, screw down the
adapters with the sleeve nut.
•
To the right side, fasten connecting piece R (3-32/
13
), end connector R (3-32/
11
) or the high light-
intensity extension arm (3-32/
14
). In doing so, be sure to remove the protective caps from the tube
sockets. The pin must engage in the opening. Then, screw down the adapters with the sleeve nut.
•
Install and clamp two binocular tubes each for the multidiscussion equipment (3-32/
6
) to connecting
5
) and connecting piece R (3-32/
13
). Install and clamp one binocular tube to the high
light-intensity extension arm.
•
When aligning the adapters and end pieces mechanically, take care to ensure that the fields of view,
starting from the tube of the main observer (3-32/
4
) keep centered. To check this, select a prominent
feature of the specimen and move it to the intersection point of the eyepiece reticle. After you have
installed the first adapter, insert an eyepiece with eyepiece reticle in the corresponding co-observer
tube and particularly perform vertical adjustment of the adapter tube by means of setscrew (3-32/
12
)
until the selected specimen detail is again in the intersection point of the eyepiece reticle.
•
To connecting piece L, add another connecting piece L (3-32/
5
) or end connector L (3-32/
7
) and to
connecting piece R add another connecting piece R (3-32/
13
) or end connector R (3-32/
11
) for
multidiscussion equipment and fasten the parts.
•
Attach and clamp two binocular tubes for multidiscussion equipment to end connector R and end
connector L each. Perform vertical adjustment with the eyepiece reticle.
•
Insert plug (3-32/
9
) of plug-type power supply (3-32/
10
, 115 V or 230 V) in connector (3-32/
8
) on the
multidiscussion equipment and securing it against slipping off by tightening the screw ring.
•
Connect the plug-type power supply for the light pointer (3-32/
10
) to a power outlet (115 V or
230 V).
