Mount the optics

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

• Place the Upright z-actuator mount on top of the main body, triangular face of each touching one another
• Place M3x10 cap head screws and M3 washers into the two externally showing holes at the front of the main body and a third screw through the top of the vertical bored hole
• Secure in place with using a 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key

Step 2: Mount the separate z-axis

• Place a M3 nut into one of the four nut traps in the top of the z-actuator mount
• Put an M3x10 cap head screw into the hole above the nut and tighten the nuts into the nut traps using a 2.5mm Ball-end Allen key
• Remove the screw and repeat the process for to embed M3 nuts in the other three nut traps
• 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 tightly 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 cover in to place
