6. Assembling the Microscope
6.2 Condenser
• If present, screw the condenser head into the
condenser.
• Using the condenser height adjuster (10.3),
turn the condenser holder (fig. 9) completely
downward.
• Unscrew the clamping screw for the con-
denser (10.2) far enough so that the con-
denser can be inserted from the front.
• From the front, insert the condenser into the
condenser holder as far as it will go. On the
underside of the condenser, there is an orien-
tation pin (8.1), which must be located in the
guiding notch (9.1).
• Pull the condenser's clamping screw (10.2) so
that the condenser is locked in place.
• For Leica DM3000 only:
Connect the condenser cable when using the
motorized condenser.
