Assembling
8.1
Installing the objectives
1. Rotate the coarse focusing knob ① until the nosepiece
reaches its lowest position. (Fig. 1)
•
For a safe transport, the nosepiece is placed in the low-
est position before shipment from the factory.
2. Screw the lowest magnification objective on to the nose-
piece, then turn the nosepiece clockwise. Mount the other
objectives in the same way, following the sequence from low
to high magnification. (Fig. 2)
•
Clean the objectives regularly. In inverted microscopes,
the objectives are very sensitive to dust.
•
To prevent dust and dirt from entering the microscope,
cover all the unused holes with dust caps ②. (Fig. 3)
8.2
Installing the stage plate
1. Install the stage plate in the stage opening. (Fig. 4)
