6. Assembling the microscope

The microscope components are logically as-
sembled in this order:

• Specimen stage
• Condenser with condenser head
• Tube
• Eyepieces
• Objectives
• Lamp housings with light sources
• Equipment for the incident light turret disk*

Only a few commonly used screwdrivers and
keys are necessary for assembly; these are in-
cluded in the delivery package.

When using intermediate systems and optical
accessories, the sequence may vary.
In this case, read chapter,
"6.10 Optional accessories" → p.33

Never install objectives before assembling the
stage.

• Place the specimen holder on the stage and

fasten it with the two screws (3.1).

• Using the condenser height adjuster (3.2), turn

the condenser holder completely upwards,
i.e. as close to the stage as possible.

• Loosen the stage clamp (3.3) slightly.
