• When mounting a cube, make sure that the power switch of the microscope main body is turned off, and then
mount the cube by turning the cube switching turret manually.

the shutter lever to the C side (rear).

4. Insert the filter cube into the dovetail of the
turret, and press the filter cube in until it
reaches the limit position.
5. Insert the filter cube label into the label
window of the replacement port cover.
Insert the filter cube label into the label window
of the same address as that shown in the
address indication for cube insertion.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to attach all the required
filter cubes.
7. Close the replacement port cover.
The replacement port cover is attached by
magnet, and therefore usually it does not need
to be fixed using a screw. The replacement port
cover can be secured using a cover fixing
screw (M3 screw supplied with the FL turret) so
that it does not open, if required.
