Before Use

Operation

• Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly. The microscope ought to be placed where it is dry and clean.
• Avoid high temperature and violent vibration.
• As the microscope is a high precision instrument, always operate it with care, and avoid physical shock or crash during transportation.
• To keep the image clear, please do not leave fingerprints or stains on the surfaces of lens.
• Never rotate the left and right focusing knobs in reverse direction; otherwise the microscope will be damaged.

Maintenance

• Keep all surfaces of the lens clean. Wipe the lens gently with a soft lens tissue or blow away the dust.
• Carefully wipe off oil or fingerprints on the lens surfaces with tissue moistened with a little of 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether.
• Do not use organic solution to wipe the surface of other components, especially the surface of plastic components. Please use a neutral detergent if necessary.
• Never disassemble the microscope yourself, otherwise it will influence its function or damage it.
• After using, cover the microscope with a dust cover to prevent it from dust, and store it in a place free from moisture to avoid rusting.

To keep the performance of the microscope, please check it periodically. For more details, please contact the agents nearby.

A large knob (G) for coarse focusing and a smaller knob (H) for LED light adjustment are located on the side of the body.

Assembling

Assembling Scheme

Follow this scheme to assemble the components. The numbers denote the assembling order.

• Before assembling, ensure there is no dust, dirt, or other materials that could interfere. Assemble carefully and do not scratch any part or touch the glass surface.
• Preserve the hexagon spanner; it will be used when changing parts.

Component identification for assembly:

• A. Body: The main microscope unit.
• B. LED Ring light: The illumination ring.
• C. External power adapter: The power supply unit.

Diagram description: The diagram shows the main microscope body (A) being lowered onto a circular component (B, the LED Ring light) which is attached to a stand. An external power adapter (C) with its cables is also shown, indicating its connection to the microscope body.

Assembling Steps

Assemble the microscope body

1. Match the dovetail interface (labeled 1) of the microscope body with the dovetail groove (labeled 2) of the focus bracket group. Insert it from top to bottom as indicated by the direction shown in the figure, and fix the screw in the screw groove.

2. Tighten the screw on the body group (labeled 3) with an M4 inner hexagon spanner (side length 2mm). (See Fig.1)

Figure 1 description: A close-up view shows the dovetail interface of the microscope body (labeled 1) aligning with the dovetail groove (labeled 2) on the focus bracket. A screw (labeled 3) is indicated for tightening with an M4 inner hexagon spanner.

Assemble the LED ring light

Move the LED ring light close to the microscope body according to the arrowhead direction. Align the three screw holes (labeled 1) with the thread groove (labeled 2), and lock the screw with an M4 inner hexagon spanner (side length 2mm). (See Fig. 2)

Figure 2 description: The LED ring light is shown being attached to the microscope body. Three screw holes (labeled 1) on the light align with a thread groove (labeled 2) on the body. A screw is indicated for tightening with an M4 inner hexagon spanner.

Connect the Power Cord

Insert the external adapter plug (labeled 1) into the power supply adapter socket (labeled 2) of the microscope body until it is fully seated. The power will be switched on. (See Fig. 3)

• Do not use strong force when the power cord is bent or twisted, otherwise it will be damaged.
• Use the special wire supplied by Euromex. If it is lost or damaged, choose an external power adapter with the same specifications (power cord/charger).

Figure 3 description: A power adapter plug (labeled 1) is shown being inserted into the power supply adapter socket (labeled 2) on the microscope body.

Adjusting screen's degree of tightness

1. Use a cuspidal tool to open the cap nuts (labeled 1) on both sides.

2. Use an Allen wrench to unscrew the M3 hexagon screws (labeled 2) from the cap screws (labeled 4).

3. Adjust tightness by turning the flat nuts (labeled 4) while a straight screwdriver holds the rotation axle (labeled 3) still. (See Fig. 4)

4. Tighten two M3 hexagon screws (labeled 2), then put the cap nuts back.

Figure 4 description: This figure illustrates the adjustment of the screen's tilt tightness. It shows cap nuts (labeled 1) on the sides, M3 hexagon screws (labeled 2) which are unscrewed from cap screws (labeled 4), a rotation axle (labeled 3) that should be held still by a straight screwdriver, and flat nuts (labeled 4) used to adjust tightness.

How to Use

Adjust the Focusing Tension

To adjust the focusing tension, grip the left knob and rotate the right knob (labeled 1). It will tighten when rotated clockwise, and loosen when rotated counter-clockwise. (See Fig.5)

Adjust the focusing tension to an appropriate position to prevent the microscope body from declining with the bracket when observing, and also to make focusing more comfortable.

Figure 5 description: A close-up of the focusing knobs. The right knob is labeled (1). Arrows indicate clockwise rotation for 'Tight' and counter-clockwise rotation for 'Loose'.

Set Illumination

1. Insert the power cord plug of the body group into the ring light interface (labeled 1). Then turn on the switch (labeled 3) to start the light source. (See Fig.6)

2. Rotate the light adjustment knob (labeled 4) to adjust the illumination brightness. Rotate clockwise to raise the brightness, and counter-clockwise to decrease the brightness. (See Fig.7)

Figure 6 description: The power cord plug is shown being inserted into the ring light interface (labeled 1). A switch (labeled 3) is indicated for turning on the light source.

Figure 7 description: The light adjustment knob (labeled 4) is shown. Arrows indicate clockwise rotation for 'Max' brightness and counter-clockwise rotation for 'Min' brightness.

Place the Specimen

Put the specimen on the base and position the observation point exactly below the microscope. (See Fig.8)

Figure 8 description: A diagram showing the specimen placed on the microscope base, ready for observation below the microscope's objective lens.

Adjust the Focus

1. Rotate the zoom adjustment ring (labeled 1) to the maximum magnification.

2. Observe the output image. If it is not clear, rotate the focusing knob (labeled 2) to make it clear.

3. Rotate the zoom adjustment ring to the minimum magnification.

4. Observe the output image until it is clear. (See Fig.9)

High low magnification parfocality is set to the best position when this product is produced.

Magnification and Interface

Fix the Magnification

If using a fixed magnification for a long term or with shake, tighten and fix the magnification lock-screw (labeled 1) with an M4 inner hexagon spanner (side length 3mm). (See Fig. 9)

Figure 9 description: A close-up view of the magnification lock-screw (labeled 1) on the microscope body, indicating where to tighten it with an M4 inner hexagon spanner.

Use the Button and Interface

It means the camera is working when the indicator turns green. (See Fig. 10)

• HDMI cable interface (labeled 1): Connect the HDMI cable to output the high definition image signal.
• USB interface (labeled 2): Connect the USB cable with devices like a mouse and USB disk.
• Camera button (labeled 3): When the camera is working, press once to take one photo.
