Manual This manual expatiates the using method, troubleshooting and maintenance about MT-50 series biological microscope. Please study this manual thoroughly before operating, and keep it with the instrument. The manufacturer reserves the rights to the modifications by technology development. On the basis of operation...
MT-50 Series Before Use 1. Operation Notice 1. As the microscope is a high precision instrument, always operate it with care, and avoid physical shake during the operation. 2. Do not expose the microscope in the sun directly, either not in the high temperature, damp, dust or acute shake.

MT-50 Series 2. Maintenance 1. Wipe the lens gently with a soft tissue. Carefully wipe off the oil marks and fingerprints on the lens surfaces with a tissue moistened with a small amount of 3:7 mixture of alcohol and ether or dimethylbenzene.
MT-50 Series 2. Assembling 2-1 Assembling Scheme Following is the Assembling Scheme, and the numbers denote the assembling order. ★ Before assembling, make sure there is no dust or dirt. Assemble carefully and do not scrap any part or touch the glass surface.

MT-50 Series 2-2-4 Assemble light source 1. Align the oriented pin① and power pin② on the light source to oriented holder③ and power socket④, and then push light source into arm smoothly and plug it thoroughly (see Fig. 7). ★ Whenever replacing the bulb, turn off the main power and wait until the bulb and holder cool down.
MT-50 Series 3. Operation 3-1 Set Illumination 1. Put through the power and turn on the main power switch to“—”. 2. Adjust the light adjustment knob① until the illumination is comfortable for observation. Rotate the light adjustment knob clockwise to raise the voltage and brightness.
MT-50 Series 3-4 Adjust the Focusing Tension If the handle is very heavy when focusing or the specimen leaves the focus plane after focusing or the stage declines itself, please adjust the tension adjustment ring① (see Fig. 12). To tighten the focusing arm, rotate the tension adjustment ring①...
MT-50 Series 3-7 Center the Condenser 1. Rotate the condenser up-down knob① to raise it to the highest position (see Fig. 16). 2. Rotate the objective 10X to the light path and focus the specimen. 3. Rotate the field diaphragm adjustment ring②...
MT-50 Series 3-9 Adjust the Aperture Diaphragm 1. The aperture diaphragm decides the numerical aperture of the illumination. Only when the N.A. of illumination is matching with the N.A. of the objective, it can obtain better resolution and contrast, and also increase the depth of field.
MT-50 Series 3-11 Use the Filter Filter can make the background more suitable and increase the contrast (see Fig. 21). ★ There are three kinds of filter: blue, green and yellow. ★ Place the filter‟ s rough side downward. 3-12 Replace the Fuse Fig.
MT-50 Series 3-14 Assemble the Photography Device 1.Loosen the lock-screw ① on the trinocular head and get down the dust-cover ② of the trinocular. 2.Insert photography device to the trinocular. Screw on the lock-screw① (see Fig.24). 3.Loosen the lock-screw ③ on the photo tube and get down the photo tube ④...
MT-50 Series 4. Assembling and Operation of Accessories 4-1 Assembling and Operation of Phase Contrast Flapper 1. Keep the phase contrast flapper① face up (upward the face with word), insert it from left to right into the condenser flapper socket as the direction of the arrow pointed (see Fig.
MT-50 Series 4-2-1 Centering Halo In phase contrast microscopy observation, slide the aperture diaphragm lever① to the most left as the direction of the arrow pointed (always keep aperture diaphragm at maximum). (see Fig. 27) 1. Put speciman on the stage and focus.
MT-50 Series 4-4 Assembling and Operation of Simple Polarizing 1. Simple polarizing includes analyzer② and polarizer③ (see Fig. 30). 2. Unplug analyzer dust-cover① from the arm, and insert analyzer face up. 3. Put the polarizer into the condenser④ groove as the figure shows.

MT-40 Series 3. Put the binocular/ trinocular Head ① on the LED fluorescence illuminator ②, and fix it with the lock screw ③ by the hexagon spanner. (See Fig. 33) 4.When observing the fluorescence slide, should pull the light barrier①left into light path to stop Fig 33 transmission light.(See Fig.34)...

MT-50 Series 4-6-2 Power supply for LED fluorescence attachment a)Transformer power supply. First insert one end of transformer ①into fluorescent illuminator power socket②.Then insert the other end directly into electric outlet.(See Fig.36) ★ Before connecting an external transformer, should rotate the light adjustment knob③ to Fig 36 “OFF”.(See Fig.36)...
MT-50 Series 5. Troubleshooting As the performance of microscope can’t play fully due to unfamiliar operations, the table below can provide some solutions. Problem Cause Solution 1. Optical Part Field diaphragm is not large enough. Enlarge the field diaphragm. (1) The LED light is bright, but it’s...
