Hi Steve:
We do it for labs when we visit, or you can try it yourself.
It can be done in about 15 minutes. The thing to be careful with is not to remove the screws completely and not to scratch the light absorbing surface of the retaining spring and light shield.
Having the right screw driver helps; PH000 x 40 (Wiha) works. The shields are available but expensive and delicate. The newer model CSUX and W1 systems are easier.
Be careful to insert the dichroic all the way up to the seat limit and have the dichroic oriented correctly with the coated side facing the microscope. Also avoid doing this in dusty rooms and do not use canned air to blow off dust,... better done with squeeze bulb with filtered air intake.
Not rocket science, but does take some care.
Best
George
