Mounting the Microscope Body

1. Remove the cap @ on the focusing assembly by inserting a thin object

into the notch.

2. Using the provided Allen screwdriver, loosen the dovetail mount clamp-

ing screw inside the cap on the focusing assembly by rotating it by 2 or

3 turns (counterclockwise).

3. Gently insert the dovetail mount ³ on the rear of the microscope body

into the dovetail mounting port ² on the focusing assembly.

# Do not insert the mount at an angle or with excessive force, for this

may cause malfunctions.

4. When the microscope body has been inserted until it stops, tighten the

clamping screw using the Allen screwdriver.

5. Place the cap @ in the original position.

Mounting the Objective

Mount the objective ² on the objective mount thread @ by rotating the

objective in the direction of the arrow.

Mounting the Auxiliary Objective SZX-AL20X (SZX-ZB12 only)

When using the auxiliary objective (SZX-AL20X), mount it onto the tip

of the DFPLAPO1XPF objective and tighten the clamping screw while

pushing it against the tip. (See page 10.)

Remember that the SZX-AL20X cannot be used with other objectives.

Mounting the Observation Tube

1. Using the Allen screwdriver, loosen the observation tube clamping screw

@ completely.

2. Aligning the positioning pin ³ of the microscope body to the positioning

groove ² on the observation tube, insert the dovetail mount | at the

bottom of the observation tube into the mounting port ƒ on the micro-

scope body.

3. Using the Allen screwdriver, tighten the observation tube clamping

screw @.

# The observation tube can be mounted 180° from the above posi-

tion, but this positioning makes observation difficult and is not rec-

ommended. When the auxiliary pillar is used, this positioning is im-

possible because the eyepiece gets in the way.
