Motorized Nosepiece Operation

The LV150A is equipped with a motorized nosepiece, and
you can rotate the nosepiece by operating the nosepiece
rotation buttons on the left side of the microscope to
change objectives.
Two buttons, far side and near side, are used as the
nosepiece rotation buttons. The nosepiece is rotated each
time when either button is pressed.
When the far side button is pressed, the nosepiece is
rotated in the clockwise direction viewed from the top.
And the near side button is pressed, the nosepiece is
rotated in the counterclockwise direction viewed from the
top.
Be careful about the following items to use the motorized nosepiece:
• To mount objectives onto the motorized nosepiece, magnifications of objectives are placed
in ascending order from No. 1 position of the nosepiece.
• The nosepiece rotation from No. 1 position to No. 5 position and from No. 5 position to
No. 1 position is prohibited in normal operation.
This limit is applied because a collision may occur when a rotation from the lowest
magnification objective to the highest magnification objective is attempted under an
inadequate adjustment.
If you wish to rotate the nosepiece between No. 1 position and No. 5 position on purpose,
press the button for the opposite direction while holding down the desired direction
button. Before this operation, be sure to adjust each part of the microscope and check that
no collision occurs for objectives.
