+ | ====== Olympus MVX 10 Z-Axis & Zoom Drive Installation Procedure ====== | ||
+ | {{ mvx10_2_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure below outlines the steps necessary to install the ASI Microscope Focus Controller Drive onto the Olympus MVX 10 microscope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To perform the following steps you will need the following tools: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Flat & Phillips screw drivers & a pair of Pliers | ||
+ | 1.5mm, 2.5 mm, 3mm, 1/16 and 7/64 inch hex wrenches | ||
+ | Small piece of Emory cloth | ||
+ | The hex wrenches are provided by ASI. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure has 6 parts: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Removing the Objectives, Trinocular head & Fluorescence illuminator to reduce weight when installing the drive assembly | ||
+ | - Removing the left fine focus & the zoom knob | ||
+ | - Installing the base plate & motor drive assembly | ||
+ | - Aligning the motor drive assembly | ||
+ | - Installing & aligning the Zoom belt drive | ||
+ | - Installing the motor drive cover plate & fine focus knob | ||
+ | - Connecting the cables to the controller | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 1- Remove the Objectives, Trinocular head & Fluorescence illuminator to reduce weight when installing the drive assembly ===== | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== Part 2 - Removing the Left Fine Focus Knob (FFK) ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove the left fine focus knob from the microscope as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_5_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_6_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pry the rubber boot of the end of the left fine focus knob (ffk), on some scopes a screwdriver may be needed to pry the knob off as it may be glued on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_7_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_8_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Figure 3 shows the location of the 3x 8 mm screw that must be removed / loosened to remove the ffk. Use the 2.5 mm Allen wrench to remove the screw while holding, or turning, the right fine focus knob. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_9_.jpg? | ||

+ | [{{ mvx10_11_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_10_.jpg? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unscrew the screw that secures the ffk & remove the knob as shown in figure 5. The focus assembly will rise up when the ffk is removed as shown in figure 4. Insure that the two spring washers remained inside of the coarse focus knob as shown in figure 5. If they are stuck to the FFK remove them and place them inside of the coarse focus knob as shown. Store the ffk & 2.5 mm screw that retained it, as they are not needed with the ASI Z-drive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Installing the ASI Fine Focus Shaft Extender (FFSE) ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ mvx10_12_.jpg? | ||
