Condenser Holder goes down

[elurdio]

Hi,

In a DMLB microscope:

Is there a screw to tighten the condenser holder so it doesn't lower slowly due to the weight of the condenser turret?

If so, where is it?

Dear Elurdio,

You have two knobs which move the condenser holder up and down.
One  on the left and one one the right.
Each knob is closed with a plastic cap.
Remove this cap. Under the cap there are screws which can be tightend a bit more.
But also maybe you´d have to exchange the lubrication.

Everything on own risk please.
There should be a bit mechanical knowledge to avoid damages.

Kind regards
Diana

Auf Deutsch hätte ich geschrieben: Achtung: Nach fest kommt ab!
Hatte das nämlich vorhin selbst versucht und das ganze wirkte recht empfindlich....

Irgendwie glaube ich aber fast, dass irgendwas mit dem Fett nicht stimmt. Vielleicht verharztes Fett zu sehr angelöst etc., denn das Phänomen des senkenden Kondensorträgers beim DMLB kenne ich gar nicht, meist sind die eher Richtung verharzt.

Und an der Mechanik verstellt eigentlich keiner was...

Hi Diana,

I have decided to try your method. After removing the cap, there is a gold nut, is that the one to tighten?
