observing objects in horizontal
position
The OPTIGEM microscope stand
can easily be tilted in order to ob-
serve objects in a horizontal position
(see fig. 4).
To do this: Loosen the lock screw of
the head and rotate the head 180°.
Fix the screw again. Loosen the til-
ting knob (counter clockwise) and ro-
tate the stand 180° (make sure that
the power cable has not been win-
ded too many turns around the base)
lean it backwards until it gets stopped
by the support and the microscope is
in the position of figure 4.
