The ease of motion is factory adjusted (to be changed only by the service staff). Clamping screw (3) for the condenser (used only for con denser exchange using SW 3 key). These are used to center the luminous field diaphragm image for the setting of KÖHLER illumination. To prevent the speci men from being pressed out of the object holder by mis take, the height movement of the condenser is limited by a stop screw. To prevent the specimen from being pressed upward out of the object holder, the height movement of the condenser is limited by a stop screw. The stop (7) is adjusted as follows: 1 Loosen stop screw (8), pin will fall downwards. Image the luminous field diaphragm (close it until it be comes visible). Move the condenser slightly upwards (diaphragm image becomes unsharp). Your specimen can now no longer be touched by the con denser. Achromatic aplanatic condenser system (Fig. 34) Depending on the version, the achromatic aplanatic universal condenser (1) is equipped with: - Fold out front lens - Turret disk for: brightfield - without or with DIC I, II, III darkfield - D phase contrast - Ph 1, Ph 2, Ph 3 interference contrast - DIC I, II, III - aperture diaphragm (iris stop) The front lens is folded in / out using lever (2). Turning the turret wheel (4) swings the brightfield insert and the contrast stops in the beam path. Slider (3) opens and closes the aperture diaphragm. 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 Universal condenser Lever to swing in/out the front lens Sliding knob for aperture diaphragm Window for turret position Turret wheel to swing in the brightfield insert or the contrast stops Condenser modules Fig. 34 13 54 B 40 042 e 09/99 Microscope Components Changing the phase stops or darkfield stops in the universal condenser (if required) (Fig. 35 Centering screws Cover on the underside Stop Retainer ring Changing the phase stop Tighten both centering screws (1) until stop using SW 1. 5 ball headed screwdriver. To loosen the cover on the condenser underside (2), loosen both grub screws using SW 2 screwdriver and remove the cover. Position turret disk with stop to be changed in the exchange opening and hold it on the knurled ring, since no click stop is effective in this position. Use mounting device contained in tool set to unscrew retainer ring (4) from the condenser underside (2) and allow phase stop (3) to slide out. [. . . ] If a syntax error occurs, all characters up to the next CARRIAGE RETURN are bypassed!Output format Each numeric or non numeric output is made in the ASCII for mat. Strings are transmitted without any special delimiters (quotation marks). The target address and source address is given before every number or every string, and the CARRIAGE RETURN character (Hex 0D) is then entered as the end character. [. . . ]
