Configuració
- Desembalatge: Traieu amb cura tots els components de l'embalatge. Conserveu l'embalatge per a futurs emmagatzematges o transports.
- Col·locació: Place the microscope on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, dust, and vibrations.
- Connexió d'alimentació:
- Alimentació CA: Connect the AC power adapter to the microscope's power input jack and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- Potència de la bateria: Open the battery compartment (usually located at the base) and insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. This allows for portable use.
- Instal·lació de l'ocular: Insert the desired eyepiece (e.g., 10X or 25X) into the top of the monocular head.
- Funda antipols: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
Instruccions de funcionament
- Encès: Flip the power switch (usually located at the base) to turn on the illumination.
- Selecció de la il·luminació:
- Llum inferior: Use for transparent specimens (e.g., prepared slides). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
- Llum superior: Use for opaque specimens (e.g., leaves, insects). Adjust the intensity using the dimmer control.
- Col·locació d'una mostra: Place a prepared slide or your own specimen on the stage. Secure it with the stage clips.
- Selecció d'ampliació: Rotate the revolving nosepiece to select the lowest power objective lens (e.g., 4X). This provides the widest field of view and makes initial focusing easier.
- Enfocament:
- Mira a través de l'ocular.
- Utilitza el botó d'enfocament aproximat (larger knob) to bring the specimen into approximate focus. Turn it slowly to raise or lower the stage.
- Un cop enfocat a grans trets, feu servir el botó d'enfocament fi (smaller knob) for precise, sharp focusing.
- Adjusting Diaphragm: The single lens condenser with a 6-hole disc diaphragm controls the amount of light passing through the specimen. Rotate the disc to adjust the aperture size, optimizing contrast and resolution for your specimen.
- Incrementasing Magnification: Once focused at low power, rotate the revolving nosepiece to a higher power objective lens (e.g., 10X, 40X). Re-adjust focus using only the fine focus knob. For 1000X magnification, use the 100X objective with the 10X eyepiece, or 40X objective with 25X eyepiece.

Manteniment
- Neteja de lents: Feu servir només paper i solució de neteja de lents especialitzats. Netegeu suaument les superfícies de les lents. Eviteu tocar les lents amb els dits nus.
- Neteja del cos: Netegeu el cos del microscopi amb un drap suau iamp tela. No utilitzeu productes químics aggressivs ni netejadors abrasius.
- Emmagatzematge: Always cover the microscope with the dust cover when not in use. Store in a dry, cool place.
- Substitució de la bateria: If using battery power, replace all 3 AA batteries when the illumination dims significantly. Ensure correct polarity.
Resolució de problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Sense il·luminació | Power switch off, batteries depleted/incorrectly inserted, AC adapter disconnected. | Turn on power switch, replace/reinsert batteries, check AC adapter connection. |
| Imatge borrosa/desenfocada | Incorrect focusing, objective lens not fully clicked into place, dirty lens. | Adjust coarse and fine focus knobs, rotate nosepiece until objective clicks, clean objective/eyepiece lenses. |
| Camp fosc de view | Diaphragm closed too much, light intensity too low, wrong illumination source for specimen. | Adjust diaphragm, increase light intensity, switch between top/bottom light as appropriate. |
| Dust/spots visible in view | Pols a l'ocular o a la lent de l'objectiu. | Netegeu acuradament l'ocular i les lents de l'objectiu. |
