 After using the microscope,
what are we going to do:
• Turn the revolving nosepiece until LPO is in place
• Slowly turn the body tube so that the end of the objectives is
approximately 1cm above the stage
• Rotate the diaphragm until the smallest opening is in position
• Let the mirror stand on its edge with concave side facing the
user to protect it from dust.
• Some microscope boxes have a socket for the eyepiece. In this
case, remove the eyepiece from the body tube and place it in
the socket.
