Inserting, Rotating and Shifting a Condenser
The quick-action locking mechanism on the carrier for transmitted light illumination lets you change a
condenser easily and fast, with a few turns of your hand.
In addition, the four locking positions of the condensers allow you to install the condensers in four
different positions, each of them offset by 90 degrees. This comes in handy whenever a diaphragm is to
be changed in a condenser that is equipped with a modulator disk. When micromanipulators are utilized,
a condenser rotated 90 degrees is recommended for sliders because, in this position, the slider is not
shifted crosswise, but lengthwise to the microscope axis. Thus, conflicts between the movements of the
manipulator and the slider are avoided and the slider is easier to operate.
In order to enlarge the specimen space, the condenser may additionally be shifted to the back in its slot,
toward the reflected light illumination carrier. (This applies to slider condensers only.)
Inserting the Condenser into the Carrier for Transmitted Light Illumination
•
Unlock the quick-action locking mechanism on the carrier for transmitted light illumination
(Fig. 3-11/
1
). To this end, turn the locking ring (Fig. 3-11/
3
) to the right, push it upward and hold it in
this position.
•
Insert the condenser (Fig. 3-11/
2
) in the desired angular position into the mount from the right.
•
Allow the locking ring to slide downward until the condenser snaps into position. Then lock the quick-
action locking mechanism by turning the locking ring leftward.
