• Slide the stage carrier with the focusing drive to
the upper stop.
• Open the frontal optic (if switchable) on the
condenser with the lever (

both centering screws (

condenser carrier until you cannot see the end
parts anymore.
• Slide the condenser carrier (

condenser carrier (
400H400HFig. 3-19/3) and the stage
carrier (

bottom of the condenser in direction of the slot
(

• Press the condenser with the dovetail ring
against the spring box (
403H403HFig. 3-19/4) of the
condenser carrier until the condenser can be
placed on the condenser carrier horizontally.

slide into the front slot (

in the condenser’s dovetail ring.
Proceed accordingly when mounting other condensers.
