6-2 Replacing the objective
When replacing the objective, remove the revolving nosepiece from the microscope frame before
replacing the objective.
If you attach the objective without removing the revolving nosepiece, the objective will be screwed
upward (direction opposite to gravity). So, it will be difficult to screw the objective fully into the revolving
nosepiece to secure firmly. Also, since the screw hole is not visible, you may screw in the objective
while the screw is not engaged properly, which may damage the screw.
NOTE
1
Removing the revolving nosepiece
Set the main switch of the microscope frame to (OFF).
Rotate the coarse focusing knob
a
to lower the stage sufficiently.
Loosen the revolving nosepiece clamping screw
b
using an Allen
screwdriver.
If the clamping screw is loosened too much, the revolving
nosepiece is caught with the clamping screw and
it cannot be removed. And, if the clamping screw is
loosened furthermore, the clamping screw may come off.

NOTE
Pull out the revolving nosepiece from the microscope frame toward
the front side.
The revolving nosepiece attached with objectives
becomes heavier. It is recommended to put a soft cloth on
the stage before removing the revolving nosepiece so that
the objectives won't collide with the stage due to its own
weight and get damaged.
