14.1 Equipping the Condenser Disk*

Notes:

•Turn the stage upwards and lower the condenser

•Remove the condenser by loosening the condenser’s clamping screw

Condenser UCL/UCLP*

•Loosen the screw (55.1) completely

•Turn back the centering screws until the light rings*, λ - and λ/4 - compensator* and lens* 2.5x can be inserted;

the largest hole is for brightfield observation (= BF), the slightly smaller ones are for light rings, λ - and λ/4 - compensator or lens* 2.5x

If you use a smaller hole for brightfield, the maximum illumination aperture cannot be used.

The lettering (e.g. DF, PH 1 ....., λ) must point

upward, the λ or λ/4 compensators must be inserted with the correct orientation: The notch must point towards the center of the disk! The lettering of the components should correspond to the marking at the opposite position (outer edge of the disk).

•Tighten the centering screws until the components are roughly in the center of the holes
