Mounting the condenser
•
Move the stage carrier with the focusing drive
to the higher stop position.
ATTENTION
The objectives should not collide with
other parts.
•
Swivel out the front lens (if shiftable) on the
condenser using the lever (Fig. 3-13/
7
).
•
Unscrew both centering screws (Fig. 3-13/
5
) on
the condenser carrier until their ends are no
longer visible.
•
Using the knurled knob for vertical adjustment
(Fig. 3-13/
2
), push the condenser carrier
3
) down as far as it will go.
If using a low-power system, make sure that
this does not come to rest on the luminous-field
diaphragm.
•
Insert the condenser (Fig. 3-13/
8
or
9
) between the condenser carrier (Fig. 3-13/
3
) and the stage
carrier (Fig. 3-13/
1
). In doing so, align the screwed stud bolt on the underside of the condenser with
the groove (Fig. 3-13/
6
).
•
Press the condenser with the dovetail ring against the mainspring (Fig. 3-13/
4
) of the condenser carrier
until the condenser sits horizontally on the condenser carrier.
•
Position the condenser on the carrier so that the screwed stud bolt sits against the groove (Fig. 3-13/
6
)
at the front.
•
Insert the centering screws until they engage with the dovetail ring of the condenser.
NOTE
To mount other types of condensers, proceed in a similar manner.
