Assembly of stage, object guide,
tube system
Stages
Mechanical stage on DM LB and DM LM
microscope: slightly turn out clamp screw
(28.13) and insert stage, holding slightly at an
angle, into the circular mount (14.8). Then align
horizontally, slightly tighten the clamp screw
(28.13) and check that the stage can be rotated.
DM LP and DM LM microscopes only (see
supplementary LP/LM manual).
Additional vertical height adjustment* (dovetail
guide, not illustrated): Lower coarse focus as far
as the stop (28.7) by turning the control. The
objectives must be removed.
Loosen the stage clamp lever on the right of the
stage bracket (not illustrated) and slide stage
bracket onto the dovetail guide from above.
Slide stage downwards until the dovetail rail
at the top of the stage bracket protrudes by 0 –
1 mm at least. Make sure the clamp lever (not
illustrated) is screwed tightly enough to prevent
the stage slipping downwards or moving out of a
horizontal position. Affix the stage to the stage
bracket (see above). The clamp lever can be set
at any position by pulling it out in an axial
direction.
Object guide*
Assemble with two clamp screws (28.2). Your
delivery will either contain the guide for 2
specimen slides (15.1) or the one-hand object
holder for 1 specimen slide, size 26 mm x 76 mm
(15.2).
A special Pol object guide and specimen clips
are available for the Pol rotary stage* (see LP/
LM manual).
Tube and intermediate systems
The tube is adapted to the stand direct or via
intermediate systems (Fig. 27, 39, 48). Tubes and
intermediate systems are secured with the lat-
eral clamp screws (39.1a, b):
Loosen clamp screw (39.1a, b) slightly if
necessary with hexagonal screwdriver (2.2).
Insert the tube or intermediate system into the
circular mount (dovetail) and align by rotating
(viewing port to the front). Pol components may
have a clickstop device (pin). Make sure that
components do not jam each other. Retighten
clamp screw (39.1).

Attention:
Additional photo adapter tubes are required for
some photo tubes (Figs. 43 – 45).
