• Unscrew the fastening screw of the disk. This
is found on the underside of the condenser
and must be fully screwed out
• Turn back the centering screws until the light
rings, λ - and λ/4 - compensator* and lens*
2.5x can be inserted;
the largest hole is for brightfield
observation (= BF), the slightly smaller ones
are light rings*, λ - and λ/4 - compensator*
or lens* 2.5x.
Notes:
If you use a smaller hole for brightfield, the
maximum illumination aperture cannot be used.
The lettering (e.g. DF, PH 1 ....., λ) must point
upward, the λ or λ/4 compensators must be
inserted with the correct orientation: The notch
must point toward the center of the disk! The
lettering of the components should
correspond
to
the marking at the opposite position (outer
edge of the disk).
Attention:
Before fitting the disk into the condenser, make
sure that neither of the centering screws is
sticking out at the side.
• Fasten the condenser disk with the axis
