Attaching the Stage Up Kit

By attaching the TI-BSUK70 70 mm stage up kit and doubly mounting the epi-fl filter turrets, you can attach
the TIRF-PAU illuminator unit and TI-BPU back port unit simultaneously.
Attach the stage up kit immediately after attaching the eyepiece base unit and the epi-fl filter turret on the
lower tier.
1. Attach the stage support block to the eyepiece base unit.
The installation surface of the eyepiece base unit has one positioning pin. Align it with the bottom
surface of the stage support block, and use the 4-mm hexagonal screwdriver supplied with the
microscope to secure it by tightening two hexagon socket head bolts.
2. Attach the epi-fl filter turret support block (right/left) respectively to the right/left side of the base plate of
the epi-fl filter turret attached on the lower tier.
Use the 2.5-mm hexagonal wrench supplied with the epi-fl filter turret to secure them by tightening two
hexagon socket head bolts respectively.
3. Attach a shielding plate on the top of the epi-fl filter turret support blocks.
Use the 2-mm hexagonal screwdriver supplied with the microscope to secure it by tightening four
hexagon socket head button bolts.
4. Attach the nosepiece support block on the installation surface of the nosepiece on the microscope.
Use the 4-mm hexagonal screwdriver supplied with the microscope to secure it by tightening two
hexagon socket head bolts.
5. Attach the dia-illuminator pillar support block on the installation surface of the dia-illuminator pillar on
the microscope.
The installation surface of the dia-illuminator pillar on the microscope has two positioning pins. Align
them with the positioning holes on the bottom surface of the dia-illuminator pillar support block, and use
the 4-mm hexagonal screwdriver supplied with the microscope to secure it by tightening four hexagon
socket head bolts.
6. The support pillar extension supplied with the stage up kit is used to extend the support pillar supplied
with the illuminator unit when the TIRF-PAU illuminator unit is attached on the upper tier. Attach the
support pillar extension between the support pillar and the bottom of the epi-fl illuminator unit of the
