Microscope carrier
Microscope carrier • This microscope carrier permits only
for stereoscopic stereoscopic observation, using both beam paths. observation • The microscope carrier can be fitted to the drive
housing in either of two positions (see page 34):
•The optics carrier can be turned sideways in the microscope carrier if the user needs to work from the side:
Release the clamping screw.
Turn the optics carrier sideways as required.
Retighten the clamping screw.
Microscope carrier AX
The stereomicroscopes can be equipped with the microscope carrier AX for stereoscopic and axial observation instead of the standard microscope carrier (page 34).
Different models are available for MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95 and for MZ125, MZ16 and MZ16 A. The achromatic objectives and the planochromatic 1⋅ fit in the thread in the AX microscope carrier for MS5, MZ6, MZ75, MZ95 (p. 33).
The planochromatic and planapochromatic objectives fit in the thread in the AX microscope carrier for MZ125, MZ16, MZ16 A (p. 33). In addition, the AX microscope carrier features a clamp- ing screw for fixing it in one of 3 positions and an aperture which can be turned manually (see below). Otherwise, the use of and switching to the left, middle and right position are identical.
•The optics carrier cannot be turned sideways in the micro- scope carrier AX.
