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 Brighteld 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 magnication 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 magnication
objective (10X) to search and focus the
specimen, then switch to higher magnica-
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)

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
qualied 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:
