Assembly 

 

4.1  Polarisation unit + Microscope head 

 
Inside  the  packaging  the  microscope  head  is  already  mounted  but  inclined  towards 
the rear. At first it must be removed by loosening the fixing screw on the connection 
point of the tube and then taking it off from the connection point. 
Instead of the head now the polarisation unit can be attached and fixed by the fixing 
screw. 
Thereby the unit can only be aligned in a certain position. 
This  ensures  a  pin,  attached  on  the  bottom  side  of  the  unit.  This  pin  needs  to  be 
inserted into the according socket on the rear of the connection point. 
After  that,  the  head  is  fitted  onto  the  top  of  the  connection  point  of  the  polarisation 
unit and fixed by three fixing screws. 
Preferably  the  head  needs  to  be  aligned  in  a  way  of  pointing  centrally  towards  the 
front. 
You should always make sure that you do not touch the lenses with your bare fingers 
and that no dust enters the apertures.

 

The  Bertrand  lens  and  the  analyser  are  inherent  parts  of  the  polarization  unit.  The 
Lambda slip however, needs to be mounted additionally.  

Please also see section 5.6 Adjusting the polarization unit

 
 
 

4.2  Objectives 

 
All  three  objectives  are  already  mounted  to  the  nosepiece.  After  removing  the 
protective foil they are ready for use. They are ranged in such a way that if you turn 
the  nosepiece  clockwise,  the  objective  with  the  next  higher  magnification  appears. 
When the objectives need to be dismounted, you should always make sure that you 
do not touch the lenses with your bare fingers and that no dust enters the apertures. 
 
 
 

4.3  Eyepieces 

 
The eyepiece is simply placed onto the tube connectors, when the protective cover is 
removed  before. There  is  no  possibility  of  fixating  the  eyepiece.  You  should  always 
make sure that you do not touch the lenses with your bare fingers and that no dust 
enters the apertures.
