Product Usage Instructions
Storage and Handling
- Store the microscope in a dry and clean environment, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and violent vibration.
- Handle the microscope with care to avoid impact and abrupt movement during transportation.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Keep all lenses clean by blowing off fine dust with a hand blower or wiping gently with a soft lens tissue.
- Clean fingerprints and oil marks on the lens surfaces with a tissue moistened with a 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether.
- Avoid using organic solutions to clean other surfaces, especially plastic surfaces. If necessary, use a neutral detergent.
- Do not disassemble the microscope after assembly to prevent damage.
- After use, cover the microscope with the provided dust-cover and store it in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust.
- Periodically check and clean the microscope to ensure proper performance.
Setting up the Microscope
- Place the microscope base on a flat, firm surface and position the frosted stage plate on the base.
Focusing and Observation
- Check the coarse focus knob on either side of the main support to ensure it turns easily.
- To adjust the degree of tightness of the focusing arm, hold one focusing knob and turn the other to attain a suitable position. Clockwise direction is tight, counterclockwise is loose.
- Set the specimen in the center of the stage plate and clamp it if necessary.
- Plug the small round plug into the back of the microscope base and connect the opposite end to a power outlet.
- Turn the focusing knob and observe the specimen through the right eyepiece until the image is clear.
- Observe the specimen through the left eyepiece and adjust the diopter ring until the image is clear.
Adjusting Eyepieces and Light Intensity
- Adjust the two eyepieces along the direction indicated until they feel comfortable and a single image is seen.
- Use the left rheostat (dimmer knob) to adjust the light intensity of the bottom (transmitted) light.
- Use the right rheostat (dimmer knob) to adjust the light intensity of the upper (incidental) light.
Before use
Notice
- The microscope should be stored in a dry and clean environment. Do not expose the microscope to the direct sunlight. Avoid high temperatures and violent vibrations.
- This microscope is a precision instrument. Handle with care. Avoid impact and abrupt movement during transportation.
- To keep the image clear, clean any fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of the lens.
- Never turn the left and right focusing knob in the opposite direction at the same time. Microscope damage will occur.
Maintenance
- All lenses must be kept clean. Fine dust on the surface of the lens should be blown off with a hand blower or wiped off gently with soft lens tissue. Fingerprints and oil marks should be cleaned with a tissue moistened with a small amount of a 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether.
- Never use organic solutions to clean the other surfaces (especially the plastic surfaces). If necessary, please use a neutral detergent.
- Once assembled, do not take the microscope apart as this may cause damage to the microscope.
- After use, cover the microscope with the provided dust cover and store it in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust.
- To ensure proper performance, please check and clean the microscope periodically.
Nomenclature
Assembly
Operation
- Position the glass stage
- Place the microscope base on a flat, firm surface and position the frosted stage plate on the base. (Figure 1)
- Place the microscope base on a flat, firm surface and position the frosted stage plate on the base. (Figure 1)
- Adjust the degree of tightness of the focusing arm
- Check the coarse focus knob on either side of the main support. The coarse focus knob should turn easily.
- If you want to adjust the degree of tightness of the focusing arm, you can hold one of the focusing knobs and turn another one to attain a suitable position. The degree of tightness relies on the direction to be turned. The clockwise direction is tight; counterclockwise is loose. (Figure 2)
- Set the specimen slide
- Set the specimen in the center of the stage plate. If necessary, clamp the slide with the clips.
- To operate, plug the small round plug into the back of the base of the microscope and then plug the opposite end into the power outlet.
- Adjust focusing knobs and diopter
- Turn the focusing knob and observe the specimen through the right eyepiece until the image of the specimen is clear.
- Observe the specimen through the left eyepiece and adjust the diopter ring 1 until the image is clear. (Figure 3)
- Adjust the interpupillary distance
- Adjust the two eyepieces along the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 4 until the eyepiece feels comfortable and a single image is seen.
- Use the left rheostat (dimmer knob) to adjust the light intensity of the bottom (transmitted) light.
- Use the right rheostat (dimmer knob) to adjust the light intensity of upper (incidental) light.
