Remove the polarizer, analyzer, lambda plate, and DIC slider from the optical path.
Loosen the polarizer rotating clamp screw, turn the upper
portion of the rotating polarizer unit in the clockwise
direction to remove the polarizer from the optical path.
If the analyzer slider or lambda plate slider is in the
optical path, pull it out to the first click-stop position and
remove it from optical path.
Pull out the DIC slider at the objective 10x position from
the optical path. (It is easily removed after procedure [8]
is performed.).

Bring the 10x objective into the optical path.
Press the OBJ CW or CCW button to bring the 10x
objective into the optical path.
Pressing the OBJ CW button turns the nosepiece by one
address in the clockwise direction (as viewed from
above), while the OBJ CCW button turns the nosepiece
in the counterclockwise direction.
Restrict movement of motorized nosepiece
A function to prevent the objective from touching the
specimen when the motorized nosepiece is rotated is
available. (See Chapter 3 "11.1 Motorized Nosepiece
Operation".)
• Stop nosepiece rotation by Z position
Disables the nosepiece rotation if the elevating section
is above the specified position.
The configured upper limit is applied to all the objective
addresses.
•
Nosepiece reverse rotation
Prohibits rotating directly from sextuple/septuple
nosepiece address 1 to adjacent address 6/7.
Intelligent nosepiece
Manually switch the objective since motorized
operation is not available for the intelligent nosepiece.
On DS-L3, only information display is provided.
