SAFETY NOTES
1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from
dropping and being damaged.
2. Keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, and dusty environments.
3. 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.
4. LAMP REPLACEMENT -- CAUTION: the glass envelope of the lamp may be extremely
hot. DO NOT attempt to change the lamp before it is completely cooled or without
wearing adequate skin protection.
5. All electrical connectors (power cord) should be inserted into an electrical surge protector to prevent
damage due to voltage fluctuations.
6. FUSE REPLACEMENT -- For safety when replacing the fuse (ONLY replace with the
same size, type and rating of original fuse), be sure the main switch is in the off position,
disconnect the power cord from outlet, and replace the fuse. Reconnect the power cord
and turn unit on.
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.
NOTE: Always plug the stereomicroscope power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. A
grounded 3-wire cord is provided.
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, lint free 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 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.
4. Store the instrument in a cool, dry environment. Cover the microscope with the dust cover when not
in use.
5. Flexbar®microscopes are precision instruments which require periodic servicing to maintain
proper performance and to compensate for normal wear. A regular schedule of preventative
maintenance by qualified personnel is highly recommended. Your authorized Flexbardistributor
can arrange for this service.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Flexbar®microscope. Flexbar microscopes are
engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Your microscope will last a lifetime if
used and maintained properly. Flexbar®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 shipping
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 can form. Carefully
remove the microscope from the shipping carton and place the microscope on a flat, vibration-free
surface.

ASSEMBLY
The following photos show how to assemble the various modules in the order of assembly.
When assembling the microscope, make sure that all parts are free of dust and dirt, and avoid scratching
any parts or touching glass surfaces.
Installing the Focus Arm
For microscopes ordered with the Plain Focusing or LED stands the focus mount should be positioned at
the higher position on the track. There are two positions on the dovetail track in which the focus mount
can be installed. The positions are spaced 55mm apart. Should you need to lower the position of the
focus mount for the future please follow the following steps:
1. Remove the viewing head, optical body and objective from the focus mount by loosening
the locking screw on the focus mount.
2. Using the allen key that was supplied with your stand loosen the allen screw at the rear of
the focus mount that connects the focus mount to the dovetail.
3. Align the screw hole opening on to the lower screw opening on the dovetail.
4. Align the two pins on the focus arm into the grooves on the dovetail slider.
5. Tighten the allen screw into place.
6. Reinsert the viewing head, optical body and objective into the focus mount and lock the
assembly back into the focus mount by tightening the locking screw.

Mounting the Zoom Body
1. Carefully place the optical body into the focus mount and tighten the lock screw to secure
the optical body in place.
2. Use caution not to over tighten the locking screw as this may cause damage to the
instrument.
Mounting the Objective
1. Using care not to touch the lens surfaces, carefully thread the objective into the optical
body.

Mounting the Viewing Head
1. Insert the viewing head into the optical body and secure it into place using a 2mm allen
key to tighten the screw.
Installing the Eyepieces
1. Remove the dust caps from the eyepiece tubes.
2. Insert the eyepieces into the eyepiece tube. Be sure to install the eyepieces all the way
into the tube.
3. Set the eyepiece diopter scale for each eyepiece to 0.
