SAFETY NOTES

1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from

dropping and being damaged.

2. Do not discard the molded shipping carton; the container should be retained should the microscope

ever require reshipment.

3. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.

Ensure the microscope is located on a smooth, level and firm surface.

4. If any specimen solutions or other liquids splash onto the stage, objective or any other component,

disconnect the power cord immediately and wipe up the spillage. Otherwise, the instrument may be

damaged.

5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge suppressor to

prevent damage due to voltage fluctuations.

6. For safety when replacing the halogen lamp or fuse, be sure the main switch is off (“O”), remove the

power cord, and replace the halogen bulb after the bulb and the lamp house has completely cooled.

7. Confirm that the input voltage indicated on your microscope corresponds to your line voltage. The

use of a different input voltage other than indicated will cause severe damage to the microscope.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PREVENT

DAMAGE TO THE STAGE

To prevent damage to the mechanical stage during transit, the mechanical stage

is locked into place by a metal plate and two screws.

PRIOR TO OPERATION of the microscope, the metal plate and both screws MUST be removed.

An Allen wrench is included in the shipping carton to use for removing the screws.

Failure to remove the metal plate and two screws prior to operation

will cause severe damage to your mechanical stage.

See diagram on next page.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly.

2. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfaces

should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soap

solution. Do not use organic solvents for cleansing.

3. The outer surface of the optics should be inspected and cleaned periodically using an air stream from

an air bulb. If dirt remains on the optical surface, use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with a

lens cleaning solution (available at camera stores). All optical lenses should be swabbed using a

circular motion. A small amount of absorbent cotton wound on the end of a tapered stick such as

cotton swabs or Q-tips, makes a useful tool for cleaning recessed optical surfaces. Avoid using an

excessive amount of solvents as this may cause problems with optical coatings or cemented optics

or the flowing solvent may pick up grease making cleaning more difficult. Oil immersion objectives

should be cleaned immediately after use by removing the oil with lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth.

4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when not

in use.

5. ACCU-SCOPE®microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic preventative

maintenance to maintain proper performance and to compensate for normal wear. An annual

schedule of preventative maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your

authorized ACCU-SCOPE® distributor can arrange for this service.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new ACCU-SCOPE® microscope. ACCU-SCOPE®

microscopes are engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Your microscope will

last a lifetime if used and maintained properly. ACCU-SCOPE® microscopes are carefully assembled,

inspected and tested by our staff of trained technicians in our New York facility. Careful quality control

procedures ensure each microscope is of the highest quality prior to shipment.

UNPACKING AND COMPONENTS

Your microscope arrived packed in a molded shipping carton. Do not discard the carton: the carton

should be retained for reshipment of your microscope if needed. Avoid placing the microscope in dusty

surroundings or in high temperature or humid areas as mold and mildew will form. Carefully remove the

microscope from the Styrofoam container by its arm and base and place the microscope on a flat,

vibration-free surface. Check the components against the following standard configuration list:

1. Stand, which includes the supporting arm, focusing mechanism, mechanical stage, slide holder,

nosepiece, N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm and illumination system.

2. Viewing head (binocular or trinocular depending upon the model ordered)

3. Eyepieces as ordered

4. Objectives as ordered

5. Immersion oil

6. Dust cover

7. 3-prong electric power cord

Optional accessories such as optional objectives and/or eyepieces, slides sets, etc., are not shipped as

part of the standard equipment. These items, if ordered, are shipped separately.

ASSEMBLY

Objectives

The objectives have been pre-installed on the microscope. Always rotate the nosepiece by using the

knurled nosepiece ring.

Viewing Head

Remove the protective plastic disk from the head and neck. Loosen the viewing head clamp screw

slightly and set the head onto the microscope arm. Tighten the thumb screw to lock the head in the

desired position. Ensure the viewing head is firmly secured by the dovetail and thumb screw before

releasing your hold.

Eyepieces

Remove the eyetube plugs and insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece tubes. Lock in the eyepieces using

the supplied Allen wrench to tighten the Allen screw on each eyetube.

Mechanical Stage

The mechanical stage is held in place by a metal retainer. Remove the two screws holding the retainer

using the supplied Allen wrench.

Condenser

The condenser was installed and centered by our technicians prior to delivery. If the condenser needs to

be re-installed or adjusted in the future, please follow the following procedure: from below, mount the

condenser on the condenser holder with the aperture control lever facing forward. Tighten the two

centering screws until the condenser is in the center of the field of view when the diaphragm is closed.

ASSEMBLY (continued)

Filter

If desired, a blue filter may be installed onto the bottom of the condenser. NOTE: When installing the

filter, hold it from the edges as you do not want to leave fingerprints on the filter. Remove the filter holder

from the bottom of the condenser and insert the filter into the filter holder Insert the filter holder back into

the bottom of the condenser.

Voltage Check

Confirm that the input voltage indicated on the rear label of the microscope corresponds to your line

voltage. The use of a different input voltage than indicated will cause severe damage to your

microscope.

OPERATION

Plug the 3-prong line cord into the microscope and then into a grounded 120V or 220V A.C. electrical

outlet. Usage of a surge suppressor outlet is highly recommended. Turn the illuminator switch to “―.”

For longer bulb life always turn the illuminator variable intensity knob to the lowest illumination intensity

setting possible before turning the power on or off.

Binocular or Trinocular Viewing Head

To adjust the interpupillary distance, hold the left and right eyetubes while observing a specimen. Rotate

the eyetubes around the central axis until the fields of view of both eyetubes coincide completely. A

complete circle should be seen in the viewing field when viewing the specimen slide. An improper

adjustment will cause operator fatigue and will disrupt the objective parfocality.

OPERATION (continued)

Illumination

The light level may need adjustment depending upon the specimen density and objective magnification.

Adjust the light intensity for comfortable viewing. The illumination level may vary when changing from

one objective to another. To eliminate irregular light when using low power objectives (4X, 10X) raise or

lower the condenser using the condenser adjustment knob. The iris diaphragm should be slightly

opened or closed to obtain optimal contrast of the specimen being observed. Adjust the iris diaphragm

to the smallest size allowable for a clear, sharp image of the specimen. The setting for the iris

diaphragm will vary depending on the specimen being viewed.

Focusing

To ensure that you obtain sharp images with both eyes, (since eyes vary, especially for those wearing

glasses) any eyesight variation can be corrected in the following manner. Set both diopter collars to “0”.

Using your left eye only and the 10X objective, focus your specimen by adjusting the coarse adjustment

knob. When the image is in view, refine the image to its sharpest focus by turning the fine adjustment

knob. Rotate the diopter collar to obtain the sharpest focus. To obtain the same sharp image using your

right eye, do not touch the coarse or fine adjustments. Instead, rotate the right diopter collar until the

sharpest image appears. Repeat several times to check. NOTE: do not counter rotate the focusing

knobs as this will cause severe problems and damage to the focusing system.

Adjustable Tension Control

Located on the left side of the stand between the coarse adjustment knob and the vertical arm is an

adjustable tension control dial that is preset at our facility. This allows the user to adjust the coarse

control tension to their individual preference.
