Inserting The Phase Contrast Slider; Inserting The Stage Inserts And Attaching The Stage Enlargement Plates - Zeiss Primovert Operating Manual

Primovert
3.1.5

Inserting the Phase Contrast Slider

The 2-position Ph slider (Fig. 6/1) and the
3-position Ph slider
completely, with phase contrast stops mounted.
• Push the Ph slider (Fig. 6/1 or 2) from the right
or the left side, with the inscription facing
upwards, into the condenser slot (Fig. 6/3) until
it engages in the desired position.
If necessary, the neutral filter can be
inserted into the free position of the
corresponding phase contrast slider.
This prevents the user from being
dazzled when the slider position is
changed.
3.1.6 Inserting the Stage Inserts and
Attaching the Stage Enlargement
Plates
• Insert either the metal insert (Fig. 7/5) or the
glass insert (Fig. 7/6) into the specimen stage.
The metal insert with a bean-like opening is to be
used to prevent an objective with short working
distance (e.g. 40x) from colliding with the sample
container when being rotated into the light path.
Because of the longer working distance, LD
objectives (LD = long distance) can also be used.
The stage insert with bean-like opening is provided
with an orientation pin to fix its position.
• If the size of the stage surface does not suffice,
stage enlargement plates (Fig. 7/1 and 3) can be
attached to both the left and the right side. The
stage enlargement plates have to be attached
to the stage (Fig. 7/4) from below and fixed
using the two knurled screws (Fig. 7/2) included
in the delivery.
If the specimen guide is used, it is not possible to use the stage enlargement plate on the
right side of the stage.
