Mount the optics

Step 1: Mount the z-actuator mount onto the main body

• Take the prepared upright z-actuator mount with the triangular face down
• Place two M3x10 cap head screws and M3 washers into the two externally showing holes
• Place the mount onto the main body, and start to screw the two screws in using a 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key
• Both screws must be started together, and screwed in alternately bit by bit. Do not tighten fully
• Place another M3x10 cap head screw and washer through the top of the vertical bored hole
• Tighten all three screws using the 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key

Step 2: Mount the separate z-axis

• Place the complete separate z-actuator upside-down onto the z-actuator mount
• While holding these together, place 4 M3x10 cap head screws with M3 washers into the 4 bored holes in the separate z-actuator and screw into place

Step 3: Place the optics module

• Get a 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key ready
• Take the complete optics module and holding upside down beside the separate z-actuator
• Insert the exposed mounting screw on the optics module through the keyhole on the separate z-actuator

Step 4: Secure the optics module

• Insert the 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key through the teardrop shaped hole on the back of the separate z-actuator, until it engages with the mounting screw
• Slide optics module down the keyhole to the bottom, while keeping the Allen key engaged with the screw
• Tighten the screw with the Allen key to lock the optics in place

Step 5: Add the foot cap

• Take the foot cap and locate it over the exposed foot at the top of the microscope
• Push the cap in to place
