Put the microscope stand on a
solid table.
Insert the optical head abo-
ve the stand and tighten the
screw. (Fig.1)
Unpacking
The microscope is housed in a moulded Styrofoam container. Remove the tape from the edge of the container
and lift the top half of the container. Take some care to avoid that the optical items (objectives and eyepieces)
fall out and get damaged. Using both hands (one around the arm and one around the base), lift the microscope
from the container and put it on a stable desk.
Assembling
Once you open the box, these are the microscope’s components:
① Condenser
② Optical head
③ Main body
④ Eyepieces
⑤ Eyepiece cups
⑥ Stage
⑦ Objectives

Mount the stage: lower the
support using the coarse
focus knob, then place the
stage and rmly tighten the
lock screw ①. (Fig.4)
Insert both eyepieces into
the tubes of the optical head.
(Fig.2)
Insert the condenser under
the stage: position until it is
well inserted into its holder
(under the condenser there is
a pin that must fully enter the
guide of the holder). (Fig. 3)
Screw each objective into
the thread of the nosepiece,
in order of magnication.

In order to activate the transmitted light illumi-
nator, insert the plug of the power supply cable
into the socket and turn on the main switch on
the back of the main body. Turn the brightness
adjustment knob to a brightness suitable for
observation. (Fig.7)
Loosen the lock-screw, turn
the observation head to
a comfortable position for
observation, and then lock the
lock-screw. (Fig.8)

Hold the right and left parts of
the observation head using
both hands and adjust the
interpupillary distance by
turning the two parts until one
circle of light can be seen.

Place the specimen on
the stage
Fix the specimen slide on the
mechanical stage using the
slide-clamp. Ensure that the
specimen is centred over the
stage opening. (Fig.10)

Focus tension
adjustment
Turn the tension-adjust knob
to get a suitable tension for
the focus system. (Fig.11)
NOTE: if the tension is too lo-
ose, the stage could go lower
by itself or the focus easily
lost after ne adjustment. In
this case, rotate the knob in
order to increase the friction. Fig.11
Focus-stop knob
Loosen the focus-stop knob,
rotate the coarse focusing
knob to bring the slide into
focus with a 4X or 10X objecti-
ve. Then rotate the focus-stop
in order to block the height of
the stage. This simplies the
next focusing operations.
The focus-stop knob is also
useful to avoid accidental con-
tacts between objective and
specimen. (Fig.12) Fig.12
Diopter adjustment
Adjust the ne focusing knob
to get the image sharp and
clear while observing with
your right eye, then turn the
left diopter ring to a sharp
and clear image also with the
other eye. The highpoint eye-
pieces allow the user to wear
glasses. (Fig.13)
NOTE :For the optimal para-
focality of the image, it’s sug-
gested to wear your glasses
during the normal use of the
microscope. Fig.13
