plate can be used when viewing opaque objects or for dissecting. Choose side of plate providing best contrast with
specimen.
To change plates, remove black/white stage plate by putting finger in relief and press edge of stage plate to the front of base
and remove plate. Install frosted glass stage plate by inserting into opening and pressing forward and down into base.
B.
There are three rocker type light controls located on the rear surface of microscope base.
MAIN
"I"
"II"
C. Light intensity control located on side of base. This control varies the light intensity of either the transmitted or incidental LED
illuminators.
D. Turn main power switch to ON position.
E.
Select and push appropriate rocker switch to ON position to turn desired incidental or transmitted illuminators on.
F.
Adjust brightness of LED illuminator with intensity control knob located on side of microscope, rotating control varies intensity
of both transmitted and incidental illuminators.

INTERPUPILLARY ADJUSTMENT
This permits each user to adjust spacing between eyepieces in order to accommodate distance between their eyes. While looking
through the microscope eyepieces with both eyes grasp eyepiece tube housings with both hands and rotate them on their axis,
moving eyepieces apart or together until a full field of view is observed and images blend into one. Interpupillary distance is now
corrected for your own inter-ocular distance and does not require further adjustment later unless another user changes this
adjustment.

FOCUSING
A.
Adjust zoom control knobs (located on both sides of head) so that the lowest magnification number ".75" (magnification
markings are located on right knob) is positioned at the black index dot on head. Lower magnifications have larger fields of
view, making it easier to position and locate area to be viewed.
B.
Place a flat object or specimen slide (cover glass up), on stage plate.
C. Position focusing knobs in the center of focusing range.
D. The height of viewing head can be adjusted up or down on the post in order to focus on difference sized objects. Loosen the
locking knob located on the locking support collar, allowing the support collar to slide down to bottom of post. While firmly
holding viewing head with one hand, loosen locking knob located on back of focusing assembly so that head can move freely
up or down on post.
While looking through microscope, move viewing head up or down on post until object can be seen in approximate focus.
Tighten focusing assembly locking knob. Position the support collar under the focusing block and tighten locking knob on
support collar. It is not necessary to make this adjustment every time you change objects to be viewed, so long as the
different objects are of similar thickness or height.
E.
Both eyepieces have knurled diopter adjustment rings. Rotate both left and right diopter so that the crossline on adjustable
diopter aligns with vertical lines located on ocular tube.
F.
Adjust zoom control to the highest magnification by aligning the number "5" (magnification markings located on right hand
zoom knob) to the black index dot on head.
G. While looking through right eyepiece with one eye, rotate focusing control knob until specimen comes into sharp focus
through right eyepiece.
H. Adjust zoom control knob to the lowest magnification (.75).
I.
Adjust the right diopter until the image is sharp. Do not change the focusing knob position.
J.
Without changing the position of the focusing knob, adjust the left eyepiece diopter until you obtain a sharp image in left
eyepiece. The image should now be sharp throughout the zoom power range.
= Turns power ON and OFF
= Turns incidental light ON and OFF (top illumination)
= Turns transmitted light OF and OFF (sub stage illumination)
