3.5.1

Changing the tube

• Loosen the clamping screw (Fig. 26/2), turn the
installed tube (Fig.
approximately 90° (Fig. 26/A) and detach it on
the right side upward (Fig. 26/B).
For reasons of space, the tube may
also be clamped by the Allen set screw
supplied with the tube.
• Insert the tube to be installed, with the
eyepieces pointing to the right and its dovetail
mount slightly inclined, under the two holding
elements (Fig. 26/4) into the stand.
• Then, place the tube horizontally onto the
stand. In doing so, the groove on the underside
of the tube must be located above the third
holding element (Fig. 26/3) of the stand.
• Turn
the tube counterclockwise
(eyepieces pointing frontward), align it to the
stand and tighten
(Fig. 26/2).
For space-saving
microscope (e.g. in a cabinet) the tube
may also be rotated by 180° to the
back.

Inserting color filters

the knurled knob for vertical adjustment

• Unscrew the cover cap (Fig. 27/3) from the
luminous-field diaphragm (Fig. 27/1).
• Put the desired filter – yellow, green or blue –
(Fig. 27/2) onto the mounting surface of the
luminous-field diaphragm and screw the cover
cap back into place.
