The positions in the turret disk are numbered. Depending on how they are equipped, the indi- vidual filter and/or reflector cubes are set in pre-assigned positions at the factory. For details, check the identification sheet included with your order.

Insert the filter and reflector cubes in the fol- lowing manner:

Never fit the incident light turret disk while the microscope is in operation.

Remove the face plate from the upper part of the microscope (Fig. 25). Press the locking pin (25.2) to turn the turret disk. When the locking pin is released, the turret disk locks into place again.

With the holder facing you squarely, insert the filter cube or reflector cube into the holder as described in the identification sheet provided. To do so, place the filter or reflector cube on the right side and press it toward the left into the mounting (Fig. 26).

Press the locking pin (25.2) and turn the filter turret to the next click stop.

Make sure that the turret engages (the lock- ing pin springs forward) and insert the next fil- ter and/or reflector cube as described above.

When all filters and reflector cubes have been inserted, close the front cover plate again.
