Next, take each objective and secure into place, making sure that the objectives go from lowest power to highest

power while you turn the nosepiece in a clockwise rotation.

To install the light condenser, move the nosepiece to the 4x objective position, raise the stage up as high as it will go, and

then, lower the condenser tray underneath the stage. Simply insert the condenser into the grooves in the tray being sure

to align the notch at the back of the tray to the centered nodule located at the back of the light condenser.

Now that your microscope is partially assembled, it is time to assemble the polarizing portion. Carefully remove the

analyzer. Remove the end screw and place it on the counter. Insert the analyzer from the right-hand side of the scope.

Gently push the analyzer through the ‘analyzer module’ until you hear 2 clicks. The polarizing analyzer is now in place.

Lastly, screw the end set screw back into place as to ensure the analyzer cannot be pulled out.

Next, take the wave plate ( aslo known as a red compensator) [labeled in white on black slide] and insert into open slot.

*Be sure that the white writing is facing up. Gently push the filter into the slot until you hear/feel a click-stop. Now the

filter is in place.

This next step is important, pull the Bertrand Lens out. This will allow a clear image while viewing trough the microscope

head. Lastly, please be sure to loosen the stage locking screw and the polarizing locking screw.
