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 Microscope body

② Condenser

③ Head

④ LED illuminator

⑤ Phase contrast slide

⑥ Eyepieces

⑦ Trinocular tube

⑧ Glass insert for stage

⑨ Objectives

⑩ Power cable

⑪ Brighteld lters (Blue, green and frosted)

1. Turning the coarse focusing knob ① till the

nosepiece reaches its lowest position.

► For a safe transport, the nosepiece is

placed in the lowest position and the

tension adjustment collar ②is adjust-

ed to the appropriate tension when the

microscope leaves the factory. (Fig.3)

2. Screw the lowest magnication objective

on to the turret from the right side, then

turn the turret clockwise. Mount the other

objectives in the same way, following the

sequence from low to high.

► Note: the objectives can also be in-

stalled through the stage opening.

(Fig.4)

► Clean the objectives regularly. In inverted

microscopes, the objectives are very sen-

sitive to dust.

► To prevent dust and contamination from

entering the microscope, cover all the un-

used holes with dust caps ③. (Fig.5)

► When operating, use the low magnication

objective (10X) to search and focus the

specimen, then switch to higher magnica-

tions.

► When switching between objectives, slowly

turn the nosepiece until it clicks. The click

means that the objective is in the right posi-

tion, in the center of the light path.

1. Take out the dust cap and x the optical

head using the screw ①. (Fig.1)

2. Insert the trinocular tube into the exit above

the head, and x it using the screw ②.

1. When using the glass stage, make sure

that the insert is horizontal.

2. Install the stage insert in the stage open-

ing. (Fig.8)

Installing the eyepieces

Insert both eyepieces into the tubes of the

optical head. (Fig.9)

The stage extension can be installed on either

side of the stage to enlarge the working sur-

face. The mechanical stage must be installed

on the side opposite the extension.

For right-handed operators, the mechanical

stage is normally installed on the right side.

1. Installing the stage extension: Screw the

bolts on to the extension, then mount the

extension from below the stage. (Fig.6)

2. Installing the mechanical stage: As for the

extension, the mechanical stage is xed

with two bolts under the stage. (Fig.7)

► Remove the lter holder, then install the

color lters you need. (Fig.13, Fig.14)

Mount the color lter at as shown in ①,

verifying that they are not tilted.

► If the color lter is tilted or otherwise

out of place ②, it may fall.

The color lters can be stacked in the

holder. This allows to install as many lters

as needed, as long as the whole thickness

is less than 11 mm.

1. Insert the condenser illumination unit into

the bracket. (Fig.10)

2. Turn the condenser illumination unit

clockwise about 90°, with the “AS” mark of

lter holder facing forwards. Screw the 2

xing mut with the supplied allen wrench.

(Fig.11)

3. Insert the connector plug ② into the con-

nector jack.

4. Push the LED housing gently into the ho-

les of the illumination unit. (Fig.12)

1. Turn the main switch ① to “O”(off) before

connecting the power cord. (Fig.15)

2. Insert the cable into the power socket of

the microscope. (Fig.16)

3. Plug the power cord into the mains sock-

et. Check for a safe connection.

► Please use the supplied power cord.

If lost or damaged, please refer to

qualied service.

► Connect the power cord to a grounded

(earthed) power supply only.

Before replacing the fuse, turn the main switch

to “O” (off) and unplug the power cord.

Rotate the fuse support out of the holder using

a straight screwdriver. Insert a new fuse in the

support, then rotate the support back into the

holder. (Fig.17)

► Fuse rating:

see back of the microscope.
