Only for microscopes with fixed stage
The stage is protected against transit damage
by 2 foam blocks (Fig. 11). Push out the upper
block first. To remove the lower block, move the
coarse drive* (42.12) slightly. The block can then
be pushed out at the side.
!
Attention:
If the microscope has a motor focus:
after switching on the microscope* (42.14) tip
coarse focusing "Up " (44.2, page 58) 1 – 3 times
to make the stage move upwards slightly. The
foam block can then be removed at the side.
Keep the foam blocks in case the microscope
needs to be transported again, as long periods
of vibration lead to damage!

Only for microscopes with interchangeable stage
Assemble the condenser holder* (12.10) first
(see page 20). Loosen the stage clamp (12.1) and
hold stage against the dovetail guide (12.4).
Screwing the stage clamp only slightly, align the
stage for specimens up to a thickness of about
1.3 mm (transmitted light specimens) so that the
top end of the dovetail guide is flush with the top
end of the stage clamp. For thicker specimens
(incident light) and heating stages the stage is
clamped lower down.
Then clamp the stage tightly, as otherwise it may
tilt slightly when a heavy load is placed on it.
