7.5.1 Attaching an FL Turret

Remove the cover (black) from the
nosepiece mount.
Remove the two M5 hex socket head cap
screws using a hex wrench.

microscope main body)
Microscope main body (base)
2.
Place the FL turret on the microscope main
body (base), and press the turret toward the
right side as far as it will go.
3.
Affix the knurled screws at the bottom of
both sides of the FL turret by turning them
manually.
To fix the screws more firmly, insert a hexago-
nal screwdriver into the grooves around the
knurled screws and turn and fasten the knurled
screws.
(Tool: 2 mm hexagonal screwdriver, supplied with
the microscope main body)
Setting up the FL turret in a two-tier
configuration
The FL turret can be set up in a two-tier (upper
and lower) configuration by using the
TI2-LA-SU stage-up kit for the Ti2-A/U. In this
case, the lower tier is the first tier (FL1), and the
upper tier is the second tier (FL2). As with the
case in which only the first tier is used, mount
and connect the turret and register filter cubes.
Stage-up kits must be mounted by Nikon
personnel. For details, contact your local Nikon
representative.
