Mount the illumination

Step 1: Mount the dovetail

• Place the illumination dovetail onto the stage above the z-actuator of the main body.
• Secure in place with two M3x10 cap head screws and 2 M3 Washers (using 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key)

Step 2: Insert the illumination wiring

• Take the assembled illumination module
• Pass the illumination cable from the top to the bottom of the cable guide in the illumination dovetail.
• Pass the illumination cable from the top to the bottom of the cable guide in the main body, between the Z gear and the Y gear.

Step 3: Mount the condenser arm

• Slide the condenser arm into the illumination dovetail until the bottom of the illumination module is about 5mm from the top of the microscope stage
• Tighten the thumbscrew by hand to lock the arm in place
• You will need to fine tune the position to focus the illumination on the sample when you first use the microscope
