Assembly and set up
Carefully remove the microscope body from the box and set it on a sturdy, flat surface. Delicately remove the microscope head from its packaging, securing it to the body with the designated head locking screw, taking care to avoid overtightening. locking screw, using care not to overtighten.
Gently remove the protective plastic covers from the eyepiece holders located on the microscope's head, then insert the eyepieces into the holders. At this point, you may opt to insert the eyepiece adapter into the trinocular camera port on the top of the microscope and place either a third eyepiece into it or mount an eyepiece camera (not included). Next, locate the power adapter and connect it to the microscope, then plug it in. Activate the microscope by pressing the power button on the rear of the base.
Using the microscope
Power the microscope on and utilize the illumination intensity control wheel to set the lamp on the lowest brightness setting.
Clip a slide into the slide holder on the stage. Use the X-Y translational control knobs on the right side of the stage to move the stage front to back or the slide holder left to right to center the specimen over the bulb.
Move the binocular eyepieces closer together or further apart until you see one image when you look through them. Effortlessly adjust the bulb brightness to a comfortable intensity with the intuitive dimmer wheel. Note that another user can simultaneously appreciate the image through using an eyepiece with the trinocular port.
Always begin with the lowest power objective lens, specifically the 4X objective, centered over the stage. Gaze through the eyepieces and bring the image into focus by gradually turning the larger coarse adjustment focus knob to move the stage closer to the objective. Once a sharp image forms, transition to the blue fine adjustment focus knob to fine-tune for impeccable clarity or to delve into various layers of the specimen under examination. You may also use the diopter adjustment control on the eyepiece holder at this time to further
fine-tune image clarity. Explore other parts of the slide by utilizing the X-Y translational control knobs to move the slide holder once the specimen is in focus.
Elevate magnification by rotating the nosepiece clockwise to a higher magnification objective, ensuring not to strike the slide with the objective, as this may potentially damage the glass on the slide, the objective, or both. If you cannot move the objective into place without making contact with the slide, gracefully use the coarse focus knob to gently move the stage down and away to create ample space before changing magnification.
Delicately adjust the focusing ring on the iris aperture diaphragm to finely alter the resolution of the image, ensuring the clearest view. The condenser can be seamlessly moved closer to or farther from the stage by rotating the metal knob.
For optimal clarity with the 100X objective, use the superior immersion oil provided. Elegantly rotate the nosepiece until the 100X objective is adjacent, but not resting on the specimen slide. Then, place a drop of the included immersion oil onto the cover slip. Slowly rotate the 100X objective into place ensuring it makes contact with the immersion oil. Refine the focus until your specimen is vividly clear. (Note: Immediately after use, meticulously wipe the oil from the objective lens and the cover slip using lens paper moistened with a touch of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Remember, do not use immersion oil with the 4X, 10X, or 40X objectives.)
The swing-in and swing-out filter holder is conveniently located at the base of the Abbe condenser. Swing it out and place a 32mm diameter filter, ensuring it remains free of dust, dirt, and fingerprints, thereby maintaining a pristine field lens.
Mounting a camera attachment
Place the eyepiece adapter into the trinocular camera port on the top of the microscope and mount an eyepiece camera (not included) directly on it. If you would like to use a C- mount camera (not included), unscrew the top ring from the eyepiece adapter. You can then use it as a 1X C-mount for the camera.
The parfocality between the eyepieces and the trinocular port has been preset before shipment and should not need adjustment. If necessary, however, you can rotate the parfocal ring in the eyepiece adapter to adjust the adapter height position and resulting parfocality.
