An LED "bulb" will last up to 50,000 hours so you don't have to do this exercise very often.
To open the illuminators field lens housing, use 0.9mm "L" type hex key wrench supplied with your microscope.
Loosen hex screws on lens housing. Remove lens housing to expose LED "bulb". Remove bulb by grasping the
plastic base of bulb and gently pulling straight up. Insert new LED "bulb", replace lens housing and tighten hex
screw to secure lens housing in place.
