Configuració

  1. Desembalatge: Traieu amb cura tots els components de l'embalatge. Conserveu l'embalatge per a futurs emmagatzematges o transports.
  2. Col·locació: Place the microscope on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, dust, and vibrations.
  3. 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.
  4. Instal·lació de l'ocular: Insert the desired eyepiece (e.g., 10X or 25X) into the top of the monocular head.
  5. Funda antipols: When not in use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.

Instruccions de funcionament

  1. Encès: Flip the power switch (usually located at the base) to turn on the illumination.
  2. 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.
  3. Col·locació d'una mostra: Place a prepared slide or your own specimen on the stage. Secure it with the stage clips.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
