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 wrench, loosen the dovetail mount clamping

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 wrench.

5. Place the cap @ in the original position.

Mounting the Objective

# Since the objective is heavy, take the following measures to prepare

for an accident in case it is dropped.

· Attach the cap to the objective tip.

· Place the cap of the objective mount thread or a notebook, etc. on the

stand to absorb the shock even when the objective drops.

While holding the tip of the objective ², mount it on the objective mount

thread @ by rotating the objective in the direction of the arrow.

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

microscope body.

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

#The observation tube can be mounted 180° from the above position,

but this positioning makes observation difficult and is not

recommended.

When the auxiliary pillar is used, this positioning is impossible

because the eyepiece gets in the way.
