+ | The procedure below outlines the steps necessary to install the ASI Microscope Focus Controller Drive onto the Olympus BX50\BX60 microscope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To perform the following steps you will need the following tools: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Medium flat blade screwdriver | ||
+ | 2.5mm, 1/16, 5/64 and 7/64 inch hex wrenches | ||
+ | ASI provides the hex wrenches. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure has four 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. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Remove the left fine focus knob from the microscope as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use a knife to remove the small plastic cover | ||
+ | |||
+ | Firmly hold the right fine focus knob with your right hand and use the 2.5 mm Allen wrench to remove the screw that secures the left fine focus knob. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Install the clutch plate as follows: ===== | ||

+ | {{ bx50_new_5_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_6_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Locate the small brass clutch plate and slide it onto the fine focus shaft in place of the fine focus knob that was just removed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 2 - Installing the Baseplate ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_7_.jpg? | ||
+ | | ||
+ | {{ bx50_new_8_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_9_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Locate the baseplate and remove the ASI drive from it if it is attached by using the Allen wrench to remove the Horizontal adjustment screw. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part-3 Installing & Aligning the Motor Drive ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_10_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_11_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_12_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_13_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_14_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_15_.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 fine focus knob until it is in the position where minimum drag is felt on | ||
+ | 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 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_16_.jpg? | ||

+ | {{ bx50_new_17_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ bx50_new_1_.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) Screw the black microscope fine focus knob on to the shaft extension. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This completes the procedure for installing the ASI motor drive on to the Olympus BX50\BX60 Microscope. | ||
