6.14Inserting the Front Module Slider

If your microscope is prepared for integrated modulation contrast or integrated phase con- trast, a front module (possibly in conjunction with a manual magnification changer) will be in- tegrated in the stand. This is recognizable by a 2 x 3 cm opening at the left front side of the mi- croscope. If this opening is not present or closed, then your microscope is not prepared for the integrated processes.

A slider for integrated modulation contrast or in- tegrated phase contrast fits in this opening. The phase contrast slider may still require the instal- lation of phase rings.

Insert the slider with the markings facing for- ward. It features a bright-field position and two positions for contrast methods (position A and position C).

(A and C designate the eyepoint of the used ob- jective. Please refer to the included objective list for the eyepoint of your objective. It can also be found engraved on the objective.)

6.15Installation of the polarizer and analyzer

Installed at the factory.

To change the components, proceed as follows:

Motorized condenser:

See included installation instructions.

Manual condenser:

Attach the single or triple position holder to the top of the manual condenser. The holder has a guide that must be inserted in the opening next to the screw threads. The holder must be posi- tioned so that the polarizer or filter to be used covers the opening of the condenser.

Insert the polarizer or filter with the correct side facing up into the holder (λ: lambda and polarizer; POL: polarizer only). A click mecha- nism will indicate proper seating. The polarizer must turn easily between the two stops (approx. 30°).
