Installation of IC Prisms
• Switch the microscope off.
• Remove the condenser cover (38.1). Insert the
prism in one of the condenser disk's large re-
ceptacles with guide grooves.
• Turn the right-hand centering screw back fully
with the adjusting key (39.2). To prevent the
condenser disk from turning further, insert the
adjusting key (39.2) into the left-hand centering
screw of the disk. It may protrude a maximum
of 1 mm into the opening.
• Grasp the prism to be installed with the con-
denser tool (the lettering must face upward
and be legible) so that the tab of the prism ring
is positioned to the center of the tool's cam,
and the upper edge of the prism is lying fl at in

• Two guide hooks are located on the under-
side of the prisms. These must fi t into the two
grooves of the opening.

the housing) so that the mount fi ts under the
spring clip of the retainer (Fig. 39a).
