ASSEMBLY
1Mounting on the Equipment (Figs. 1 to 3)
SZ2-STS, SZ2-STB2 or SZ2-STB3
Loosen the clamping knob @, fit the equipment mounting hole into the
pole ² of the system and tighten the clamping knob @ firmly.
# When mounting the equipment for the SZX, remove the drop-preven-
tion ring from the stand.
# Do not tighten the clamping knob while the pole is not inserted into
the equipment mounting hole.
SZ2-STB1
1. Loosen the clamping screw on the mount section of the equipment, insert
the equipment mounting shaft ³ into the mount section, and tighten the
clamping screw.
2. The equipment mounting shaft can be inserted from either up or down.
When it is required to attach a heavy object such as a photography unit, it
is recommended to insert the equipment mounting shaft from the upward
direction.
3. To adjust the angle of the optical axis of microscope, loosen the retaining
screws | using the provided Allen wrench, adjust the angle, and then
tighten the two retaining screws that can be tightened.

2Attaching the Microscope Frame (Figs. 4 & 5)
SZ2-STS, SZ2-STB1 or SZ2-STB3
1. Loosen the clamping screw @ and insert the microscope frame. The clamp-
ing screw can be attached to any of the three positions around the arm.
2. Tighten the clamping screw @ firmly.
SZ2-STP or SZ2-STB2
1. Using the provided Allen wrench, fully loosen the three retaining screws
(hex-socket screws) ² around the arm and insert the microscope.
2. Tighten the three retaining screws firmly.
# When an SD or SF series microscope frame is attached on the SZ2-
STP or SZ2-STB2, the ring fluorescent lamp cannot be used.

3Attaching the LSGA Illuminator (Fig. 6)
# The LSGA cannot be attached ton the SZ2-STB2 and SZ2-STP.
Using the IHA or IHD holder, the LSGA illuminator can be attached to any
of the five (or three with the SZ2-STB3 in combination with the IHA mount-
ing holder) LSGA attaching positions @ on the arm.
For details, refer to the instruction manual for the LSGA.

4Adjusting the Focus Adjustment Knob Tension (Fig. 7)
1. Hold the left and right focus adjustment knobs @ with two hands, fix one
knob and rotate the other knob to increase or decrease the tension ac-
cording to the rotation direction.
2. This operation is intended to adjust the force required for rotating the knob
while preventing spontaneous lowering of the microscope frame. To ob-
tain highest ease of use, it is recommended to adjust the tension at a
slightly higher level than the level at which spontaneous lowering occurs.
