c. Replacing LED element:
An LED "bulb" will last up to 50,000 hours, so you don't have to do this exercise very often.
To open the illuminator field lens housing, use hex wrench supplied with your microscope to loosen the two hex
screws on side of 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
