Bx Stage Adapter Type 2 Szx-Stad2 - Olympus MVX10 Instructions Manual

10-5 BX Stage Adapter Type 2 SZX-STAD2

This adapter is for installing the U-SIC4 large stage* on the SZX-STL large base**. When this stage adapter is used, the
provided SZH-P400 auxiliary pillar should be used to cover the height of the stage adapter.
* The U-SVL or U-SVR BX stage can also be used but the operability is degraded, and the U-SVLB and U-SVRB cannot
be used due to the long stage knobs.
** The SZX-STAD2 can also be used with an SZX series illumination base, but its built-in transmitted illumination cannot
be used.

1. Illuminate the specimen with an external light source (illuminator, light
guide illuminator, etc.). Light the external light source as shown in Fig. 25
and irradiate the mirror assembly.
2. Eliminate irregularities in illumination.
1 ) Align the microscope body center with the center of the SZX-STAD2.
2 ) Set the zooming knob on the microscope body to the minimum
zoom ratio and focus the stage top surface.
3 ) While observing through the eyepieces, rotate the mirror knob to
adjust the mirror angle so that the entire field of view is illuminated
uniformly.
}When observing using a focal light illuminator, remove the frosted filter
and, while observing through the eyepieces, tilt the mirror gradually until
optimum contrast can be obtained.
