3.10 Replacing the DIC prism on the
universal condenser
CAUTION
Before replacing the prism on the
motorized universal condenser, make
sure to open the aperture iris first with
the corresponding control button to
prevent damage of the iris blades.
•
Use the tool to remove cover (3-12/1) or
unscrew it (if cover is at the bottom). Turn turret
disk until the DIC prism to be replaced appears
in the blank aperture (3-12/4). Hold the disk at
its knurled ring.
•
Unscrew retaining ring by means of the so-
called dual-function tool (3-12/2).
•
Then, screw the tool (3-12/2) with the threaded
side into the prism mount (3-12/3) and pull out
the DIC prism (3-12/6).
•
Remove DIC prism (3-12/6) from the tool and
screw on the new, desired DIC prism.
•
Mount the DIC prism in reverse order paying particular attention to the correct orientation of the DIC
prism: Tongue 3-12/5 must be in the recess of the mount in the condenser. Take care that the labeling
on the knurled ring of the turret disk is correct.
