Installing the Pillar

1. Using the Allen wrench provided with the base, loosen the two clamping

screws @ on the pillar support sleeve completely.

2. Hold the pillar ² so that the Allen screwdriver storage hole made of

white rubber comes at the top, and insert the pillar into the pillar sup-

port sleeve until it reaches the bottom.

3. Tighten the two clamping screws @ securely using the Allan wrench.

Reserve Screw Holes

Two screw holes ³ (6 mm) are provided for use in mounting a manipu-

lator, etc.

Mounting the Focusing Assembly

1. First loosen the focusing assembly clamping knob @ completely and,

while holding the focusing assembly with both hands, insert the pillar ³

into the mounting hole ² from below. (Fig. 16)

# Insert vertically and slowly. Do not apply excessive force.

2. Lower the focusing assembly until it stops, then tighten the focusing

assembly clamping knob @. (Fig. 16)

To prevent the microscope from turning over, the focusing assembly

must be installed on the same side as the stage plate in the stand,

as shown in the illustration marked "\" in Fig. 17, and its pivot angle

must be limited to 30°. If the focusing assembly is placed on the

wrong side, the microscope will turn over.

# If the clamping knob @ is tightened while the pillar ³ is not com-

pletely inserted into the mounting hole ², the plate spring support-

ing the pillar will deform and the pillar will not be able to penetrate

into the hole. (Fig. 16)
