Connect the Power Supply Ensure the main switch is in the “O” o position. Insert one side of the wire (1) into the aviation plug socket (2) and lock it with the screw.
  • Page 9: Microscope Operation

    Microscope Operation: Using the Beam Splitter Slide the beam splitter (1) to direct light 20% to the eyepieces and 80% to the trinocular port (camera). Slide the beam splitter the other direction to send light 100% to the eyepieces. Focusing Place the sample on the stage and move the 5x objective into the light path.
  • Page 10 Microscope Operation: Using the Eye Shields If the user wears glasses, turn the eye shields down (1) to prevent the glasses from touching the eyepiece and avoid damaging the glasses or the eyepieces. Open the eyesheilds (2) to prevent stray light from disturbing observation.
  • Page 11 Microscope Operation: Adjust the Aperture Diaphragm The aperture diaphragm decides the numerical aperture (NA) of the illumination. If the NA of the illumination matches the NA of the objective, the best resolution is obtained with increased contrast and depth of eld. Adjusting the aperture diaphragm is the same as adjusting the eld diaphragm.
