Attaching the Nosepiece

Attach the P-N quintuple centering nosepiece on this
microscope.
1 Fully loosen the nosepiece clamp screw located on
the right side of the microscope arm using the
hexagonal screwdriver.
2 Insert the nosepiece along the guide groove located
on the lower side of the microscope arm. And slide
the nosepiece toward the back as far as it goes.
3 Fix the nosepiece with the nosepiece clamp screw.
To remove the nosepiece, reverse the attaching procedure. At this time, lower the stage fully,
and remove the specimen and all objectives. Then hold the nosepiece by hand to prevent
falling and remove the nosepiece.

Attaching Objectives

To perform the polarization microscopy, objectives exclusively designed for the polarization
microscopy must be attached.
Lower the stage completely. Screw objectives into the nosepiece so that the magnification increases
with the clockwise rotation (as viewed from above the microscope) of the nosepiece.
Caution when removing objectives
When removing the objectives, remove the specimen from the stage. Lower the stage
completely, and hold each objective using both hands so that it does not fall during the
removal.
