6. Assembling the microscope
The microscope components are logically as-
sembled in this order:
• Specimen stage
• Condenser with condenser head
• Tube
• Eyepieces
• Objectives
• Lamp housings with light sources
• Equipment for the incident light turret disk*
Only a few commonly used screwdrivers and
keys are necessary for assembly; these are in-
cluded in the delivery package.
When using intermediate systems and optical
accessories, the sequence may vary.
In this case, read chapter,
"6.10 Optional accessories" →

6.1 Specimen stage
Caution:
Never install objectives before assembling the
stage.
• Place the specimen holder on the stage and
fasten it with the two screws (3.1).
• Using the condenser height adjuster (3.2), turn
the condenser holder completely upwards,
i.e. as close to the stage as possible.
• Loosen the stage clamp (3.3) slightly.
