2.8 FluoCombi III™ ➜ optics carrier
The optics carrier may not be laterally
rotated in the microscope carrier of the
FluoCombi III™ since the 3rd beam path of the
stereomicroscope and the FluoCombi III™ are
adjusted to each other.
Loosen the clamping screw (11.1) and remove
the dust cover in the microscope carrier of the
FluoCombi III™.
Carefully insert the optics carrier (11.2) in the
microscope carrier and align it so that the
optics carrier is flush with the microscope
carrier.
Tighten the clamping screw (11.1).
The assembly of the remaining components is
similar to the binocular tube, eyepieces, etc., see
M2-105-0, and the fluorescence illumination, see
M2-160-0.

2.9 Objectives

FluoCombi III™ is adjusted so that the focused
position remains sharp (parfocal) and centered
(parcentric) with every zoom position if used
with a 1× plan or planapo objective and a 5× or
20× HR objective in the stereo and micro mode.
Hold the objectives during assembly and disassem-
bly so that they do not fall onto the stage plate.
Remove specimens from the stage plate.
Turn the thread for the stereo objective (11.3) to
the observer by using the swinging mechanism.
Tighten the 1× plan or planapo objective (11.4)
counterclockwise in the thread mount.
Turn the thread for the micro objective (11.5) to
the observer.
Hold the fine focusing (11.6) or lock it with the
clamping screw (11.7).
Tighten the 5× HR objective counterclockwise
in the thread mount.
OR
Tighten the adapter (13.1) for Mitutoyo/Optem
objectives and in the thread (6.5) using the
screw-in adapter (13.2).
Tighten the corresponding objective at the
adapter (13.1).
