Switching Objectives

Basic Operation

12.1
To switch the objective, press the nosepiece forward/reverse
rotation buttons on the main body, or the nosepiece address
button on the remote control pad.
Setting mode switch
During microscopy, keep this switch set to the left side
(operation mode).
Disabling the reverse rotation from Address 1 to 6
Normally, the nosepiece rotates in the direction that is the
shorter distance to the specified address. However, when
the reverse rotation lock is enabled for the rotation from
Address 1 to 6, a direct movement from Address 1 to the
next Address 6 can be disabled. See Section 13.3 "Reverse
Rotation Lock (Rotation from Address 1 to 6)" when using
the reverse rotation lock.
Brightness during nosepiece rotation
The brightness of the dia-illumination LED degrades during
the nosepiece rotation, but it is not a failure.
The following is interlocked with the switching of the objective:
 Brightness of the dia-illumination LED
The brightness previously set for the address is automatically
set. The brightness is reset once the illumination is turned off,
and is set to the initial brightness upon next use. For details on
setting the default brightness, refer to "13.2 Changing the
Initial Brightness of Dia-illumination LED".
 Condenser top lens swing-out
The condenser top lens is interlocked only when using a
motorized swing-out condenser. See "13.1 Configuring the
Motorized Swing-out Condenser" for the settings.
