+ | ====== Olympus BX41 Installation Procedure ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure below outlines the steps necessary to install the ASI Microscope Focus Controller Drive onto the Olympus BX41 microscope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To perform the following steps you will need the following tools: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Medium flat blade screwdriver | ||
+ | 3mm, 1/16, 5/64 and 7/64 inch hex wrenches | ||
+ | ASI provides the hex wrenches. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure has three parts: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Removing the left fine focus knob & installing the clutch plate | ||
+ | - Installing the baseplate | ||
+ | - Installing and aligning the motor drive assembly. | ||
+ | - Installing the motor drive cover plate & fine focus knob. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 1 - Removing the Left Fine Focus Knob& installing the clutch plate ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_2_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_3_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove the left fine focus knob from the microscope as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Firmly hold the right fine focus knob with your right hand and turn the left fine focus knob counter clockwise to unscrew it from the fine focus shaft. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_10_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Install the clutch plate as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Locate the small brass clutch plate and screw it onto the fine focus shaft in place of the fine focus knob that was just removed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_4_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_5_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 2 - Installing the Baseplate ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Locate the baseplate and remove the ASI drive from it if it is attached by using the 3mm Allen wrench to remove the Horizontal adjustment screw. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part-3 Installing & Aligning the Motor Drive ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_6_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_7_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_8_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_9_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_10_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_11_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Locate the ASI fine focus motor drive, vertical adjustment bar, and vertical adjustment screw (M4 x 12 hex screw). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rotate the drive plate & vertical adjustment bar assembly so that the tab that is on the bottom of the vertical adjustment bar slides into the machined grove on the base plate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the 3mm or 7/64" Allen wrench to screw in the horizontal adjustment screw but leave it loose enough so that the vertical adjustment bar assembly can slide within the grove. Use the 5/64 Allen wrench to tighten the setscrew located on the right side of the base plate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slide the motor drive up and down, forward and backward slightly while turning | ||
+ | the right focus knob. Secure the motor drive into position by tightening the | ||
+ | horizontal and vertical adjustment screws | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recheck the alignment by noting the drag on the right fine focus knob. No | ||
+ | noticeable drag should be felt. Repeat the steps above if necessary. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 4-Installing the motor drive cover plate & fine focus knob ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_1_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx41_12_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | a) Locate the motor drive cover. Remove the 4/40 button head screws from the drive with the 1/16 “ Allen wrench. Position the motor drive covert over the motor drive assembly and secure in place using the 4/40 button head screws. | ||
+ | |||
+ | b) Slide the black microscope fine focus knob on to the shaft extension, positioning it so that one of the setscrews that secure it will mate with the flat on the shaft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This completes the procedure for installing the ASI motor drive on to the Olympus BX41 Microscope. | ||
