6. Startup

•Switch-on the microscope at the power switch (34.1,36.1). All motorized microscope components first undergo an initialization phase.

After initialization is complete, the display on the stand shows the current microscope setting (Fig. 37).

The microscopic components such as dia- phragms, condenser, light and phase rings are already pre-centered in the factory. However, re-centering may be necessary due to transpor- tation and assembly.

Before proceeding with the necessary steps, first familiarize yourself with the stand’s display and control panel.

After turning on the gas discharge lamps, the burner must be immediately adjusted. There- fore, do not turn on the power supply unit yet. First, work in transmitted light in order to familiarize yourself with the microscope’s controls.
