Move the stage carrier with focusing drive to
the higher stop position.
CAUTION
The objectives should not collide with
other parts.

Swivel out front lens (if shiftable) on condenser
using lever (Fig. 3-15/

).
x
Remove both centering screws (Fig. 3-15/

) on
the condenser carrier until their ends are no
longer visible.
x
Push the condenser carrier (Fig. 3-15/
3
) with
drive knob for vertical adjustment (Fig. 3-15/

)
down as far as it will go.
If using an overview fixture, make sure that this
does not come to rest on the luminous-field
diaphragm.
x
Insert the condenser (Fig. 3-15/
8
or
9
) between the condenser carrier (Fig. 3-15/
3
) and the stage
carrier (Fig. 3-15/

). In doing so, align the screwed stud bolt on the underside of the condenser with
the groove (Fig. 3-15/

).
x
Press the condenser with the dovetail ring against the mainspring (Fig. 3-15/
4
) of the condenser carrier
until the condenser sits horizontally on the condenser carrier.
x
Position the condenser on the carrier so that the screwed stud bolt sits against the groove (Fig. 3-15/
6
)
at the front.
x
Insert the centering screws until they engage with the dovetail ring of the condenser.
For mounting other types of condensers, proceed analogously.
