Attachment of multi-observation equipment

We would recommend you to have assembly of the multi-observation equipment performed by
Zeiss service staff (also see 4.5), since careful optical adjustment and centering of the fields of
view of the various observation tubes is required. Should you want to perform assembly
yourself, please proceed as follows:
• Remove binocular tube and intermediate tube (if available) from the stand (also see 2.2.10 ff.).
• Insert dovetail of multi-observation equipment (basic body) into the stand opening and tighten
clamping screw (2-47/1).
☞
Prior to attachment, the tube lens must be removed from the binocular tube (or phototube) for
the main user! The supplied D-filter must be screwed in instead of the tube lens. This brings the
brightness of the image / pointer to the same level as the coobservation tubes.
• Insert the binocular tube or phototube 30°/23 (2-47/4) in the dovetail of the multi-observation
equipment (2-47/3), align it and tighten clamping screw (2-47/2).
• Attach connecting piece L (2-47/5) or end connector L (2-47/7) to the left side of the multi-observation
equipment, and connecting piece R (2-47/13) or end connector R (2-47/11) to the right side. Do not
forget to remove the protection caps from the tube ends. Each pin must engage in the corresponding
opening, then tighten the captive coupling nuts.
• Attach and clamp two binocular tubes for the multi-observation equipment (2-47/6) on each of the
connecting pieces L (2-47/5) and R (2-47/13).
• When mechanically aligning the connecting pieces and end connectors, make sure that the field
centering, based on the main observer tube (2-47/4), is retained. For this purpose, select a
conspicuous specimen area and place it in the intersection point of the crossline disk (also see section
1.7). After assembly of the first connecting piece, insert the eyepiece with reticle in the respective
coobservation tube and particularly adjust the height of the connecting tube using setting screw
(2-47/12) until the selected specimen area is positioned again in the point of intersection of the
eyepiece reticle.
• Attach and screw tight a further connecting piece L (2-47/5) or the end connector L (2-47/7) to the
connecting piece L, and a further connecting piece R (2-47/13) or the end connector R (2-47/11) to
the connecting piece R.
• Attach and clamp two binocular tubes for the multi-observation equipment on each of the end
connectors R and L. Perform height adjustment using the eyepiece reticle.
• Insert plug (2-47/9) of power unit (2-47/10, 115 V or 230 V) in the socket (2-47/8) on the multi-
observation equipment and tighten the screwing ring to prevent shifting.
• Connect power unit for light pointer (2-47/10) to the line (115 V or 230 V).
The binocular tubes of the multi-observation equipment can be turned and fixed in position as required
by the user. The multi-observation equipment with light pointer permits attachment of 2, 5, 9 and more
observation devices.
