A spare bulb (Fig. 36/5) can be placed in the transmitted-light illuminator with halogen bulb
and remain there during the operation.
The transmitted-
light illuminator with LED has to be replaced completely. The LED alone
cannot be replaced.
• Push the transmitted-light illuminator (e.g. transmitted-light illuminator with LED, Fig. 36/6) into the
stand and fasten it with the two screws (Fig. 36/7). In doing so, slightly press the screws against the
spring and turn them by 90°: Turn right and left screw counterclockwise.
• Attach the cover (Fig. 36/1) again to the stand and let it snap into place.

remove the dust cap from the camera port
(Fig. 37/8) of the binocular phototube.
