Attaching the nosepiece
Attach the P-N quintuple centering nosepiece on this
microscope.
(1)
Lift the nosepiece from a position just forward of
the point directly below the fitting part and slide
toward the back to attach.
Continue sliding the nosepiece until its front
position is aligned with that of the fitting part.
(2)
Secure in place with the tool stored in the back of
the microscope.

Attaching objectives
Lower the stage completely. Screw objectives into the nosepiece so that the magnification
increases with the clockwise rotation (as viewed from above the microscope) of the nosepiece.
Caution when removing objectives
When removing the objectives, remove the sample from the stage. Lower the stage
completely, and hold each objective using both hands so that it does not fall during the
removal.

Attaching the epi illuminator (for the episcopic microscopy)
The LV-UEPI universal epi illuminator can be attached to
this microscope.
(1)
Loosen sufficiently the illuminator clamp screw on
the side of the microscope arm.
(2)
Mount the illuminator onto the microscope arm and
fix it by tightening the illuminator clamp screw.
(3)
Secure the illuminator on the microscope arm. Do
this by tightening the four hex screws supplied with
the illuminator using the hexagonal wrench.
(4)
Cover the screw holes with the protective stickers
supplied with the illuminator.

Refer to the instruction manual for the epi
illuminator. And attach the filter slider, polarizer
