Polygon Inverted Microscope Installation

1. Polygon requires an empty backport. Please see the microscope vendor’s manual for more information on removal of the epi-fluorescence attachment. For installing using ring-style adapter, attach the adapter to the Polygon by inserting the Polygon front barrel through the ring adapter and tightening the clamping screw on the adapter. Carefully insert the Polygon-adapter assembly into an empty backport and secure the assembly using the setscrew on the microscope’s backport. The Polygon should be in generally inserted as far into the microscope as possible without hitting other microscope parts. Remove and readjust the mounting position of the ring adapter on the Polygon’s front barrel as necessary.

2. For installing using a plate-style adapter, after removing the mounting plate with the original backport, mount the plate adapter onto the microscope using the same mounting screws. Insert the Polygon as far into the microscope as possible without hitting other microscope parts. Secure the Polygon by tightening the clamping screw on the adapter.
